Technical Highlights

  • One Board, Complete Portfolio:
    Configure small cells to macros on a single board with bandwidths from 20 MHz to 400 MHz. Supports all LTE, NR FR1 and NB-IoT bands in TDD, FDD, and mixed-mode operation.

  • Performance & Efficiency:
    Gen-6 ML DPD supports PAs up to 80 W with 600 MHz bandwidth. Neural engine continuously optimizes PA performance for maximum efficiency.
  • Security & Reliability:
    Embedded MACSec, secure boot, and advanced security architecture protect against network threats.
  • Risk Reduction:
    Interoperability-tested, O-RAN stack and reference design reduce design errors and accelerate RU bring-up.

With a software-defined radio unit SOC, a single compact radio board enables a broad portfolio of Small Cell and Macro products.


  • Support for all LTE, NR FR1 and NB-IoT bands, single, dual, and tri-band combinations for TDD, FDD, or mixed-mode operation.
  • 4T4R/1OR or 8T8R/2OR configuration via Chip-to-Chip Interface.
  • Small Cell to Macro Radios – DPD supports PAs from 25 mW up to 80W, up to 600 MHz instantaneous bandwidth.
  • Maximum Occupied Bandwidth: 400 MHz Per Antenna.
  • O-RAN compliance: Interoperability-tested 7.2x eCPRI Low PHY stack ready for commercial deployment.
  • Integrated Low PHY, and embedded neural-network engine: reduces board size, design complexity, and BOM costs.

Energy efficiency is engineered across the system using multiple, complementary approaches.


  • Integrating Low PHY functionality: eliminates or significantly reduces FPGA reducing size, weight, and energy while streamlining the architecture.
  • Gen 6 Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD): significantly improves power amplifier efficiency.
  • RadioVerse DTx: automated discontinuous transmission (DTx) settings use real-time network traffic data to deliver energy savings exceeding 35% with zero impact on KPIs.
  • Symbol-Based Envelope Tracking: dynamically reduces energy consumption by matching PA power levels to actual network traffic in real time complimenting DTx settings without sacrificing performance.

Symbol Based Envelope Tracking

  • Machine learning-based digital pre-distortion continuously optimizes PA performance.
  • Charge trap compensation (CTC) for GaN PAs improves signal quality.
  • Supports Power Amplifiers from 25mW to 80W, up to 600MHz instantaneous bandwidth.
  • MACsec supporting AES-128/AES-256 encryption.
  • Integrated support for secure boot, secure update, and life cycle management provided by tiny enclave.
