NXP and Jio Platforms Collaborate to Enable Expanded 5G Use Cases in India
June 29 2021 - 2:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) and Jio Platforms Ltd.
(JPL) a subsidiary of RIL [NSE: RELIANCE], today announced a
collaboration to implement a 5G NR O-RAN small cell solution that
incorporates NXP’s Layerscape® family of multicore processors. The
combined solution will power new RAN networks that will deliver
high performance, enabling a wide range of 5G use cases for
broadband access as well as Industry 4.0 and IoT applications,
including tele-medicine, tele-education, augmented/virtual reality,
drone-based agricultural monitoring and more.
Jio Platforms Ltd. (JPL) is a leading technology company that
delivers innovative 4G and 5G solutions and is the holding company
of Jio, the largest mobile network operator in India and
the third largest mobile network operator in the world. The
company consistently leverages innovative technology solutions to
serve its vast customer base and is moving rapidly to address 5G
opportunities in India.
JPL has leveraged the high performance and flexibility of NXP’s
Layerscape processors in its new 5G NR solutions. The combination
enables a powerful offering that has successfully tested at 100 MHz
channel bandwidth in 3.5 GHz spectrum with peak data rates of 1
Gbps+. This translates to increased performance for a wide range of
segments, enabling innovative applications in smart cities, smart
homes, health and education, and significantly enhanced user
experience in data download rates for all mobile users. As a
result, JPL’s 5G NR radio solutions are well suited for next
generation RAN networks, providing increased indoor and outdoor
performance and enabling a wide range of 5G use cases.
“The NXP processor platform is an important component of Jio’s
5G journey. 5G New Radio solutions require flexibility in terms of
the platform features, efficiency and rich tooling, which NXP
brings to the table. Along with NXP, Jio Platforms has developed
state-of-the art radio products, which are compliant to the 3GPP as
well as to the O-RAN standards. We have a history of close
collaboration with NXP, and we look forward to strengthening it
further,” said Mr. Aayush Bhatnagar, senior vice president
of Jio Platforms.
NXP’s Layerscape® family of multicore processors provides high
levels of integration and deliver strong performance leveraging the
combination of Arm 64-bit cores, networking and security offload
engines with wide high-speed SerDes interfaces for highly
integrated system implementation. Hardware networking offload
include switching, timing, parsing and Quality of Service (QoS),
providing offload for eCPRI C/U- and S-Plane offload including
virtualized and containerized L1/L2 applications. The overall
system delivers efficient, scalable performance via software
programmable implementation.
“The collaboration with Jio to develop, test and deploy 5G
solutions underscores the power of our Layerscape products and the
growing ability of NXP’s antenna-to-processor portfolio to
accelerate new 5G deployments,” said Tareq Bustami, senior vice
president and general manager, Network Edge at NXP Semiconductors.
“Jio and NXP are both focused on technical and innovation
leadership, and this combined systems integration demonstrates our
shared vision to deliver efficient 5G NR solutions to the India
market.”
