Xilinx, the leader in adaptive computing, on Thursday announced that the company is supplying its leading UltraScale+ technology to Fujitsu for its O-RAN 5G radio units (O-RUs).
Fujitsu O-RUs using Xilinx technology will be deployed in the first O-RAN-compliant 5G greenfield networks in the U.S. Fujitsu is also evaluating Xilinx RFSoC technology to further reduce cost and power consumption for additional future site deployments.
Xilinx UltraScale+ technology is found inside Fujitsu's O-RAN 5G radio units, which are being deployed in the first O-RAN-compliant greenfield networks in the US.
Fujitsu O-RUs are ideal for a broad-range of spectrum and multi-band applications for 5G O-RAN networks. The Xilinx UltraScale+ devices used within Fujitsu O-RUs deliver the best balance of cost economies as well as the adaptability and scalability required for the evolving needs of 5G O-RAN network requirements. Additionally, Xilinx will continue to work with other O-RAN ecosystem partners to ensure continued validation of the hardware and software necessary for world-class 5G networks.
Liam Madden, EVP and GM, Wired and Wireless Group at Xilinx
We are proud to collaborate with Fujitsu in the development of their multi-generation 5G radio units using our industry-leading UltraScale+ solutions, which will be deployed in a major greenfield 5G network.
Masaki Taniguchi, SVP and Head of the Mobile System Business Unit at Fujitsu
Together, Xilinx’s UltraScale+ portfolio of solutions with Fujitsu’s leading radio platforms deliver a solid foundation for enabling the great benefits of O-RAN that are central to 5G deployments.
