5G-Ready Small Cell Platform for Private Networks

In the realm of 5G infrastructure development, a groundbreaking platform has emerged, offering a cost-effective solution for deploying custom 5G networks at scale. This innovative platform combines Arctic's IceWings with Skyworks Solutions' power amplifiers and timing products, along with Synergy Design's carrier-grade 5G vRAN offerings. The result is a versatile and efficient system that meets 3GPP standard requirements while consuming minimal power.

By integrating best-in-class components from leading manufacturers, the platform delivers superior coverage, low power consumption, and value-added features at a significantly reduced deployment cost. Operating across the 5G FR1 frequency band from 600 MHz to 7.2 GHz, this open, universal small cell platform offers flexibility and performance. It is available in two variants for bands n78 and n79, catering to diverse needs in multiple countries.

The advent of 5G private networks has ushered in a new era of connectivity for enterprises in various sectors such as factories, ports, mines, and hotels. These networks provide enhanced data transmission speeds, reduced latency, and robust security measures, empowering businesses to tailor their network architecture to suit their specific requirements. Leveraging distributed small cells not only reduces costs but also enhances the feasibility of deploying private networks.

"Our solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate with industry-leading components, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency," stated Vahid Toosi, founder and CEO of Arctic Semiconductor. "Collaborating with key industry players like Skyworks and Synergy has enabled us to bring this advanced platform to market, facilitating the deployment of 5G networks for private use."

Skyworks' power amplifiers play a crucial role in the platform's low-power design, complemented by Arctic's digital pre-distortion model. This synergy results in an efficient and high-quality signal transmission while maintaining excellent coverage. Skyworks' expertise in RF front end technology has been instrumental in maximizing data throughput and range, making the small cell platform a cost-effective solution for manufacturers.

Furthermore, Synergy Design's 5G Smart RAN enhances the platform's performance, offering carrier-grade capabilities and accelerating time-to-market for small cell deployments. By integrating their leading PHY and software solutions, Synergy Design has contributed to the rapid growth of 5G private network deployments, exceeding industry expectations.

"The achievement of 3GPP compliance represents a significant milestone for Arctic Semiconductor, Skyworks, and Synergy," remarked Brandon Hoff, research director at IDC. "Their collaborative efforts have paved the way for telecommunications providers to reduce costs, support enterprise deployments of private 5G networks, and provide cost-effective solutions for Fixed Wireless Access."
