PC802 Small Cell Development Board (PC802SCB)

The PC802 Small Cell Development Board (PC802SCB) is a flexible 5G NR/LTE development platform for evaluating the PC802 for different small cell use cases:

  • Split 0 Integrated Small Cell (gNB) (-1E)
  • Split 2 Distributed unit (gNB-DU) with full PHY functionality
  • Split 6 Radio Unit (S-RU) with full PHY functionality
  • Split 7.2 Radio Unit (O-RU) with low PHY functionality

The board contains a single PC802 connected to a Network Processor (an NXP LS1046A) and an RF transceiver (an ADI ADRV9029). The four Tx and four Rx signals are brought to SMA connectors.

PC802 ORANIC – In-line PHY and NIC for O-DU

The PC802 ‘ORANIC’ is a Small Cell Forum award-winning Open RAN PHY and NIC board, designed for 5G/4G O-RAN O-DU servers. ORANIC interfaces to L2 software via the Open RAN SCF FAPI interface. It includes 4 PC802s, driving 4 25G SFP interfaces conformant to the O-RAN Open Fronthaul interface. It is capable of driving 16 2T2R or 8 4T4R O-RUs.
