The provider of IoT wireless solutions and wireless communication modules, Fibocom (Stock Code: 300638) introduces OpenCPU solution. The solution is built on Fibocom’s R16-compliant 5G module FG160 and can significantly improve price-performance ratio and competitive advantages, bringing seamless 5G experience to the global Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) market.
Refraining from using external MCU, OpenCPU is an embedded solution that uses a module as the main processor. This helps reduce power consumption of terminal devices with compact size. OpenCPU solution supports secondary development based on-comprehensive application requirements, remote firmware upgrade via OpenCPU FOTA, and secure data transmission. The solution simplifies circuit design by reducing peripheral devices, making hardware design easier for developers and improves cost-performance of end devices.
The solution also helps product developers to utilize the software system integrated in the module and simplify the development of local communication protocol, facilitating product development process for manufacturers.
The Fibocom OpenCPU solution is equipped with all the above advantages. Integrated with the Fibocom 5G module FG160, it is compliant with the advanced 3GPP Release 16 (R16) standards, supporting Wi-Fi 6E, up to 160 MHz of bandwidth as well as 4096 QAM. The solution also supports wired network deployment, allowing maximum 10Gb Ethernet, satisfying different application requirements. Instead of transferring data via UART, the FG160 OpenCPU solution pre-configures encryption algorithms, allowing higher security for critical data transmission.
Specially, the solution integrates FIBO FWA, which is the Fibocom self-developed SDK, offering high flexibility for software developers when creating applications for different products. To date, Fibocom FG160 OpenCPU solution has been successfully verified by practical cases in the field, empowering FWA application scenarios includes MIFI, IDU, ODU, and others.
“To help customers develop devices quickly and effectively, Fibocom has achieved a major technology breakthrough on the OpenCPU solution, built with the R16 module FG160,” said Simon Tao, general manager of MBB Product Management Dept., Fibocom. “We believe that the solution can meet customers’ expectations with excellent performance, cost-effectiveness as well as optimized power consumption, providing OEMs and system integrators with robust 5G connectivity.”
