Tata Elxsi, a design and technology service company, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully integrating the RDK-B (Reference Design Kit-Broadband) software stack with the Qualcomm 5G FWA (Fixed wireless access) Gen 3 Platform.
This integration paves the way for operators to provide fast, reliable, and scalable high-speed FWA solutions, promising a future of enhanced broadband experiences.
The RDK-B middleware’s key features, including Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, packet statistics, and advanced security options, ensure a versatile platform that can be deployed in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Operators can now deliver value-added services, like Quality of Service (QoS), band steering, parental control, and VPN, enhancing the overall broadband experience.
Gautam Sheoran – VP and GM of Wireless Broadband and Communications at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., stated: “We are proud to collaborate closely with Tata Elxsi, who has leveraged their considerable expertise to port the RDK-B stack to our 5G FWA Gen 3 Platform, featuring the Snapdragon X75 Modem-RF System. This critical step empowers operators to accelerate time-to-market, deliver high performance FWA solutions, and reduce development efforts, as they deploy powerful new FWA CPE solutions.”
“We look forward, through continued collaboration with Tata Elxsi, to expanding our engagement with the broader RDK community, giving operators more choices and flexibility in deploying state-of-the-art solutions,” he added.
Priya S Kumar – Head of media and Communications at Tata Elxsi, stated: “This integration broadens the RDK ecosystem and silicon diversity, which has traditionally centered on wired technologies like DOCSIS and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH). By incorporating RDK-B into the cellular-managed WAN space, Tata Elxsi is excited to collaborate in positioning the Snapdragon X75 platform as a future-ready solution for high-performance broadband applications.”
“Tata Elxsi’s continuous commitment to the RDK ecosystem enables SoCs, OEMs, and operators to rapidly innovate and scale, addressing the demands of next-generation broadband technologies,” he added.
