ASTRI end-to-end 5G systems supporting stand-alone (SA) and Non-standalone (NSA) networks

ASTRI partnered with Anktion (Fujian) Technology Co., Ltd to demonstrate data streaming with commercial 5G smartphone on its end-to-end 5G base station and 5G Core system.

— ASTRI’s latest 5G base station solution is on NXP LX2160a platform, which provides a low power and cost-efficient solution for sub-6GHz, 100MHz bandwidth, 4×4 MIMO base station products. The solution has been integrated with Remote Radio Units (RRU) from multiple vendors including Anktion. The solution supports both Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) 3GPP standards with third parties Protocol Stack (PS) software. The highly programable solution can be customized to drive different classes of base station platform such as standalone small cells and O-RAN white box hardware.

— ASTRI’s 5G Core is based on Intel x86 platform, and 3GPP Rel. 15 complied with the compelling performance – processing over 200Gbps throughput on standard servers featuring two scalable Intel Xeon processors.

Intelligent Blockchain-based IoT Platform

The Hong Kong SAR government has stepped up its Smart City development efforts in recent years. Aligned with the increasing trends to leverage shared data, China Mobile Hong Kong and ASTRI have partnered to introduce industry pioneer application of Blockchain-based Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The platform uses secured data exchange for data provider to share IoT data with integrity. Through connecting the data providers and consumers, the platform can monetise and strategically exploit the potentially enormous value of the vast amount of IoT data. The platform can help companies and individuals to unleash huge business potential by acting as a trusted intermediary to offer data exchange with integrity among third parties.

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) Chip

This demonstration showcases the latest low-cost, low-power NB-IoT chip solutions for a wide range of 3GPP-compliant low-cost and low-power IoT services. ASTRI’s NB-IoT chip adopts a unique polar transmitter architecture and integrates on-chip high efficiency CMOS power amplifier, power management unit and digitally controlled crystal oscillator.

5

LoRaWAN Application

ASTRI’s LoRaWAN system can use internal batteries to power the sensors, solving the problem of data collection in remote areas (no power, no solar energy). It has the characteristics of low power consumption, long transmission distance and easy installation. It can work continuously for 3 to 5 years depending on the internal battery. This project is supported by Hong Kong Water Supplies Department (WSD) and Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD).
