News to Notice: VZW CPE and small cells for 5G by Wistron uses Movandi SoC with NXP. It gets MmWave
Fronthaul and redistributes to end users internally and outside. The story could use a little more detail but with NXP onboard who recently acquired Marvell who had divested cellular, a reasonable guess is their WiFi is the Last Yards with mmwave the Last Mile.
However, I post this because the story in FierceWireless emphasizes its superiority and economy versus QCOM thus it competes with and does not include Q.
So.... an inquiring mind will then wonder if other LTE over WiFi cellular tech gets added via an add-on chip like our Cat-6 which also brings CBRS to enable a comprehensive radio. That would enable a multi-band, multi mode, CPE and Repeater solution, not just mmWave-to-wifi.
The driving thought is the enhanced security for Enterprise with LTE-U LTE-A, MULTIFRE and CBRS.
AND I’ve wondered how VZW would address CBRS build out.
FYI

Details were not disclosed in terms of about how many units are being deployed or when. Movandi co-founder and COO Maryam Rofougaran said their product is finished and has been going through extensive field and lab testing, becoming commercially available “very soon.” It’s also completed FCC qualification...
Movandi’s solution is a complete system-on chipset for relays and repeaters, which includes RFICs, ASICs, controllers, and algorithms. Movandi chipsets are also used for radio heads, as well as radios for 5G modems such as CPE. We make a complete system-on-chip," he added.
The company had already been actively supporting companies with a baseband solutions, including NXP, who is partnering with Movandi again for their work on chipset technology for Verizon’s 5G Home. |
