Solutions at Work
CPRI used in both 4G and 5G radio solutions
For 4G remote radio heads CPRI is an essential component for connectivity to the baseband.
CPRI used in aggregators for mapping and demapping of CPRI legacy connectivity into Ethernet
Advent of 5G coupled with new functional splits between the based and radio, has made the building of a packet based fronthaul system a possibility.

Reduced Total cost
Chip Interfaces IP cores are proven & pre-tested, slashing integration time and thereby lowering total project costs.
CPRI used in both 4G and 5G radio solutions
For 4G remote radio heads CPRI is an essential component for connectivity to the baseband. The CPRI is providing full synchronization and supports line rates up to 24Gbps. Chip Interfaces has deployed multiple solutions for RRH digital front ends (DFE’s) and has a deep understanding of the radio design and the associated standards.
CPRI used in aggregators for mapping and demapping of CPRI legacy connectivity into Ethernet
Advent of 5G coupled with new functional splits between the based and radio, has made the building of a packet based fronthaul system a possibility. This packet based fronthaul system can be achieved either by converting the CPRI streams into eCPRI using baseband processing or mapping of CPRI frames into Ethernet Packets also known as Radio over Ethernet (RoE).
Chip Interfaces have proven solutions available for RoE that can convert CPRI into formats that can be transported on Ethernet and be used to aggregate traffic from different sources like eCPRI and CPRI into the same transport link.
