The Node-H carrier-grade 5G SA O-RAN software is suitable for microcells, picocells, or any type of small cell – whether for enterprise or home use, standalone or virtualized.

The 5G O-RAN software can run on Intel or ARM hardware and supports the SCF FAPI interface. It supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth in the sub-6 GHz range and will support up to 400 MHz bandwidth in the mmWave range. Depending on cell performance, it can support up to 256 users.

The software offers a roadmap to higher-capacity cells, as SoCs (System on Chips) are more powerful than in previous generations. In the future, the software will be complemented by Qualcomm CSM SoC technology, allowing the same software base to also serve larger cells, up to macrocells.

The Node-H O-RAN software can be managed via a local, O-RAN-compliant WebGUI as well as any O-RAN standard based on netconf/yang-based SMO.
