ADI hooks up with STL for O-RAN

Author: EIS Release Date: Mar 7, 2022

ADI and Systems integrator   STL are  joining up to co-develop 5G ORAN radio units (O-RU).

 

Together, the two companies will build 5G-ready systems to expand the diversity of commercially available O-RUs and facilitate the growth of  O-RAN networks.

 

As a part of this collaboration, STL and ADI will work closely with other ecosystem providers, including leading power amplifier (PA) vendors, to expand the range of STL’s Garuda O-RU indoor small cell offerings.

 

STL will integrate ADI’s  RadioVerse transceivers into Garuda small cells.

 

“STL has developed a set of open, disaggregated, virtualizedand programmable products and solutions for the access side of the network,” says STL CEO Chris Rice.

 

As operators begin rolling out their Open RAN networks, there is increasing demand for regionally customized O-RUs to meet frequency band and power needs.

 

The O-RU is one part of the network that cannot be virtualized, and with expanding requirements for the commercial-ready frequency band and power options, existing indoor radio options limit network operators’ choices.
