en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 2, Metanoia Communications, a wireless infrastructure semiconductor company from Taiwan, China, announced progress on its 5G Open SDR platform during Computex 2026 in Taipei. It integrated its software-defined radio platform with an AI-RAN-capable 5G distributed unit server and launched the MOSART open software-defined radio base, providing an RF platform foundation for Open RAN radio access network equipment vendors, operators, and ODM/OEM partners.
The focus of this release centers on the transition of 5G radio access networks from dedicated hardware to open, white-box, and software-upgradable architectures. The FR1 and FR2 Open RAN solutions showcased by Metanoia are based on the MT2824 5G SoC, covering indoor low-power radio units, outdoor FR1 radio units, and FR2 millimeter-wave radio device forms. For operators, the key challenge of Open RAN has long been concentrated on the radio unit side: meeting requirements for RF power, energy efficiency, interoperability, and deployment cycles, while avoiding device ecosystem lock-in by a few closed architectures. MOSART is positioned to integrate chip platforms, software-defined radio architectures, hardware design kits, and semi-turnkey software development kits into a reusable base, enabling equipment vendors to form product portfolios more quickly across different frequency bands, power levels, and deployment scenarios.
The company also disclosed that it has entered the O-RAN Alliance WG7 white-box reference design architecture, involving FR1 24 dBm and 5W radio units, while FR2 50 dBm support is still under final review.
This milestone indicates that Open RAN is further penetrating from core networks, base station control, and cloud-based platforms into RF front-end and radio unit design. As AI-RAN architectures enter operator network planning, edge-side radio devices need to handle more real-time data processing, resource scheduling, and power optimization tasks. The traditional "fixed hardware + closed software" model would limit network upgrade flexibility. Metanoia's emphasis on bringing AI workloads closer to the network edge corresponds to future wireless networks achieving finer-grained resource management, beam control, interference suppression, and energy efficiency adjustment at the local side. For the communication equipment supply chain in Taiwan, China, such platforms also help connect chip, module, white-box device, and system integration stages, enhancing their depth of participation in the next generation of global wireless infrastructure.
The initial product portfolio includes a 4T4R 24 dBm indoor O-RU, 4T4R 5W and 15W FR1 outdoor O-RUs, and a 50 dBm EIRP FR2 outdoor radio device. The company also mentioned that related solutions have completed interoperability verification at O-RAN PlugFest Spring 2026, with subsequent commercialization focus shifting to ecosystem partner adaptation, operator testing, and scale validation across different deployment scenarios.
