BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of signal processing platforms
and artificial intelligence processors for smarter, connected
devices, today announced that Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT)
has licensed the CEVA-X2 and CEVA-XC4500 DSPs to deploy in a new
software-defined radio modem which is being designed to address the
mature stage of 5G service network rollout.
"The CEVA DSPs are an important component of our strategic
roadmap to quadruple the capabilities of our unique multicore
technology by delivering octa-core modem processing within a
silicon chip and vertically integrating it into our next generation
of wireless backhaul solutions," said Yuval
Reina, EVP Global Products and Services at Ceragon Networks.
"The need for higher capacities across increasingly more complex
mobile and other networks, on the road to 5G, places an even
greater emphasis on the critical role that wireless backhaul plays
in meeting business and network deployment targets.
"The use of Ceragon's unique octa-core modems in vertically
integrated full 5G wireless backhaul solutions, will provide
immense additional benefits to Ceragon's customers beyond those
available in our current state-of-the-art solutions by offering
orders of magnitude more capacity with efficient spectrum
management, minimal use of real-estate and reducing energy costs,
as capacity needs continue to surge and network complexity
continues to grow. Ceragon's multicore technology, a key component
of its current IP-20 Platform, resolves the key challenges
associated with wireless backhaul, as networks transition from 4G
to 5G, offering mobile operators a highly innovative, quick rollout
with the scalability to increase capacity as the network expands
and densifies over time."
"Ceragon is the market leading specialist in wireless backhaul
worldwide, and we're pleased to provide the critical 5G DSP
technologies for their next-generation multicore platform," said
Michael Boukaya, vice president and general manager of the wireless
business unit at CEVA. "Our unique expertise in developing DSPs to
handle the most advanced wireless technologies is unrivalled and
Ceragon's decision to partner with us for their next generation
platform is further confirmation of this."
