The joint project to boost scalability and efficiency of future cellular radio access networks wins funding in the UK & Republic of Korea Open RAN R&D Collaboration competition, part of a UK DCMS effort to prepare the nation for the future of wireless technology.

"It is difficult for open source practices to thrive in the chip-design industry," the board's designers say, "but Maverick-603 demonstrates that open source chip design can produce products that equal or surpass their closed-source counterparts."

Guildford UK, October 24 2022 – Lime Microsystems, leading provider of field-programmable radio technology and app-enabled software defined wireless networks, today welcomes industry veteran and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) pioneer Don Faria to its board.

London, UK: AWTG and Lime Microsystems today announce successful integration of the LimeNET 5G system with AWTG’s Service Correlation and Assurance Platform (SCAP) as an Operations Support System – making it ready for wide-scale deployment on consumer-facing networks. Designed as a complete network-in-a-box solution for 5G cellular, and powered by…

The new, upgraded version of Lime Micro's popular LimeSDR Mini brings with it greater flexibility for on-device FPGA workloads along with a more secure component chain so supply can keep up with demand.

Boasting a field-programmable gate array with nearly three times the capacity of the original LimeSDR Mini, the upcoming LimeSDR Mini 2.0 will enable increased flexibility and experimentation with new and exciting on-device capabilities.

"The flexibility provided by this technology is especially important in the case of deployments in rural environments," Vodafone Spain explained, "because it would allow deployments to be carried out more quickly, at a lower cost and with more efficient equipment in energy terms."

"FRANC is not just about delivering better and smarter 5G products," writes Julia Lopez, minister at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport, of the FRANC project. "The scheme is looking to stimulate the British telecommunications industry in a new and open way."

Vodafone extends its partnership with Lime Micro and adds others, including Intel, Arm, Qualcomm, and Broadcom, with a view to boosting the efficiency and capabilities of its interoperable open RAN communications ecosystem.

"Open and collaborative digital innovation is no longer a theoretical concept," the event's organisers explain. "It is the modus operandi of companies and countries that engage at the cutting edge of the technological and societal innovation needed to tackle the grand challenges."
