Software stack verified for 9 5G radios

Software Radio Systems (SRS) has successfully integrated and tested nine Open RAN Radio Units (O-RUs) from top vendors such as Benetel, Foxconn, Picocom, Liteon, VVDN, and AMD with its srsRAN Enterprise 5G software solution. This innovative solution simplifies the deployment of 5G private networks, providing high-performance, low-latency connectivity across various environments using interoperable, standards-compliant O-RUs.

The srsRAN Enterprise 5G CU+DU stack is optimised for Open RAN Split 7.2, enabling seamless interoperability with third-party O-RUs. This allows customers to rapidly deploy scalable and flexible 5G networks without the need for complex integration support.

A standout feature of the SRS solution is its unique Open Fronthaul (OFH) library and API, which accelerates the integration of new O-RU models and streamlines deployments. This enables quick deployment of robust 5G networks using best-in-class radios for specific use cases alongside general-purpose RAN compute hardware.

The srsRAN Enterprise 5G solution is highly portable, offering built-in support for multiple architectures including Intel, AMD, ARM, and NXP platforms. This ensures customers can choose the ideal configuration based on their performance, cost, and environmental requirements. With lightweight deployment needs, srsRAN Enterprise 5G provides a fully scalable network solution for enterprises seeking to modernize connectivity while retaining flexibility in hardware choices.

The O-RUs integrated with srsRAN Enterprise 5G include:

  • Benetel’s RAN 650 and RAN 550 O-RUs, designed for outdoor and indoor environments respectively, offer reliability in real-world private 5G deployments, making them suitable for industrial and campus applications.
  • Foxconn’s RPQN 4800E and 7801 indoor O-RUs provide an economical yet robust solution for office and retail environments, allowing for quick deployment of high-performance 5G indoor networks.
  • Picocom’s PC802 SCB and PC805 RDB, compact and efficient small cell solutions, are ideal for small-scale industrial and enterprise applications where power and space efficiency are crucial.
  • Liteon’s FlexFI O-RU is a versatile solution optimized for indoor settings, offering reliable connectivity in various indoor environments.
  • VVDN LPRU, a high-performance indoor O-RU designed for deployment in medium to large facilities, provides scalable and efficient connectivity options.
  • AMD’s ZCU670, a versatile O-RU for enterprise environments, delivers high throughput and low latency when integrated with srsRAN Enterprise 5G.

Meet the SRS team at Fyuz in Dublin from November 11-13, where they will showcase the srsRAN Enterprise 5G solution in a live deployment with Benetel’s RAN 650 and RAN 550 O-RUs.
