Sivers Semiconductors AB announced that its business unit, Sivers Wireless, will feature a live demonstration of a fully-functioning and deployment-ready base station reference design based on the NXP’s Layerscape® Access LA12xx baseband processor, Sivers’ 5G mmWave transceiver module, TRB02801 and PureSoftware’s software stack at the MWC exhibition in Barcelona starting February 27.

Sivers and PureSoftware have jointly developed an O-RAN-compliant base station reference design for the 5G mmWave market based on the NXP Layerscape processor platform. Both Sivers and PureSoftware have a long history of working together with NXP to develop 5G mmWave solutions. The O-RAN ecosystem enables open standardized interfaces to allow more vendors to serve the 5G infrastructure market, thus expanding the customer set and addressable market for this solution.

As a result of the latest development, Sivers will be demonstrating live the reference design with the highest level of RF integration on the market. By combining NXP’s programmable baseband processor, the LA12xx, the Sivers 5G mmWave transceiver module, the TRB02801 and PureSoftware’s software stack, this solution enables customers to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market by having market-leading performance and power efficiency with the simplest possible bill of materials.

“This solution will give several key benefits to our customers. With the highest level of integration, the design effort for our customers will be at a minimum, which will result in a shorter time to market, higher quality and less risk, all of which are critical success factors for our customers. On top of that, this solution gives market-leading performance and energy efficiency, which is key to addressing the energy consumption in the networks,” said Anders Storm group CEO of Sivers Semiconductors.

“We are delighted to partner with Sivers Semiconductors to deliver one of the key elements of a 5G solution based on PureSoftware’s leading Artha 5G software stack for O-RAN based solutions. This production-ready stack will accelerate time to market needs of end customers while ensuring best performance,” said Noy Kucuk, senior vice president, HiTech & Telecom Services, PureSoftware
