AccelerComm, the Southampton Layer 1 5G IP specialists, announced today that AMD has licensed its 3GPP LDPC accelerator IP for use on its T2 Telco Accelerator Card.
The AMD T2 Telco Accelerator Card offers a high-performance, low-latency, and power-efficient platform for 5G O-DU deployments.
Through their collaboration with AMD, AccelerComm IP provides a complete pre & post-processing wrapper and subsystem that completes the 5G NR 3GPP chain when utilizing AMD Soft-Decision-FEC LDPC Encoder and Decoder Cores.
AMD is currently engaged in several trials worldwide using the T2 Accelerator Card with AccelerComm IP to enhance the cost per bit of an O-RAN system.
By offloading the heaviest processing components, such as LDPC forward error correction, the combination of AMD 4th-generation EPYC processors and the T2 Accelerator Card, utilizing standardized interfaces, enables greater flexibility and supports more cell sites per system.
"Delivering efficient 5G networks with the best performance requires tight collaboration between all partners to deliver the promise of Open RAN," says AccelerComm's Will Brown.
"We are excited to collaborate with AccelerComm to enable advanced and highly performant 5G solutions for the Open RAN ecosystem," says AMD's Mike Wissolik.
