Overview

5G operators are steadily moving away from traditional proprietary wireless equipment in favor of an open, disaggregated telco server approach. Whether it’s O-RAN or vBBU, this “virtualization of 5G” carries with it the promise of telco-deployed software services at the edge such as video streaming, gaming, or automotive services.

AMD Telco Accelerator cards offload the latency-sensitive and throughput intensive 5G baseband functions, freeing up telco server processors for more interesting and commercialized software functions. These cards deliver the right performance, power, and ease of deployment required for the 5G virtualized edge.

High-Performance 5G Offload

Virtualizing the baseband only works if there’s enough processing horsepower in your server and accelerator to keep up with the rigorous demands of 5G.

Turnkey Options for Ease-of-Deployment

Telco Accelerator reference designs remove the traditional barriers to FPGA accelerator deployment.

Traditional FPGA accelerators require the OEM or telco to have a team of RTL and firmware designers to develop, integrate, and deploy the accelerator. AMD Telco Accelerator cards remove this obstacle by being offered with a pre-developed and tested reference designs for fronthaul and layer-1 offload. The cards take advantage of open source software stacks used by today’s leading system integrators for ease of design.

The VVDN reference design and software stack are available from AMD to ease integration and performance testing of the card. Deployment licenses are commercially available from VVDN.
