In a recent press statement, AccelerComm has announced that National Instruments (NI) has adopted its 5G NR polar IP. The IP has been selected for use in NI’s USRP RIO software defined radio family of products used by wireless researchers in academic and industrial teams working across a range of mobile and communication technologies to accelerate product development.
The USRP RIO uses 2×2 MIMO transceivers, each tunable to independent frequencies between 50 MHz to 6 GHz with 40 or 120 MHz per channel, giving a real-time bandwidth of 80 dB of dynamic range. The third party developers can now create both infrastructure and handset products for 5G NR networks, thanks to the addition of AccelerComm’s IP.
Elaborating on the announcement, James Kimery, Director of Marketing, RF and Communications, National Instruments said, “NI has been a 5G innovator since the beginning and we continue to develop state of the art tools and technologies to enable the research community to prototype faster. Our work with AccelerComm extends our platform toward 5G NR compliance which will enable researchers to build on 5G NR polar IP to explore application spaces critical to the 5G ecosystem.”
Adding to it, Tom Cronk, AccelerComm’s chair and acting CEO, shared, “NI is renowned as a leading provider of technology platforms to the entire wireless communications industry. We’re delighted to have its backing, which is a great testament and endorsement of our groundbreaking polar implementation.”
Polar coding has been selected by 3GPP as part of the 5G NR specification.
