ASOCS Ltd, a company that provides high capacity baseband solution for next generation network topologies such as Cloud - Radio Access Networks (Cloud-RAN), Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and SmallCells, has partnered with Wind River to enable fast rollout of virtual Base Stations for communications service providers. ASOCS is leveraging on Wind River Linux and Wind River Open Virtualization to deliver high performance, open-source, real-time kernel virtualization (KVM) technologies.
ASOCS said its virtual Base Station, based on its advanced Modem Processing Unit (MPU) solution and Modem Programing Language (MPL) for Baseband and Signal-processing as a Service (SPaaS) approach combined with Wind River's virtualization technologies allow higher data plane performance of the Mobile Base Station.
“Virtual Base Stations (vBS) are poised todisplace the current hardware, closed garden/SoC based products. vBS will enable improved network performance, coverage and capacity and be deployed in numerous network configurations including:Cloud - Radio Access Networks (Cloud-RAN), traditional Macro cell sites, In-building/Outdoor Distributed Antenna System (DAS) deployments and even Small Cells implementations. ASOCS is in the process of establishing several key strategic alliances that would enable it to present reliable solution directly to the carrier's worldwide. The alliance with Wind River is one of the cornerstones of our go to market strategy.”
