Inside the Telecom Chip Start-Up and its 4G and 5G Base Station SoCs
May 30, 2024 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm PDT

As 5G evolves for both public and private networks, edge demands will significantly impact the fluidity and structure of 5G infrastructure. Mobile network operators (public 5G) and enterprises (private 5G) face a formidable challenge: How to deploy a wireless infrastructure that can effortlessly scale with future upgrades (e.g., 5G Advanced) and demands, without incurring the traditional capital and operational expenses associated with system redesigns and rip-and-replace costs.
This talk will focus on the foundation of all wireless infrastructure—the 4G+5G baseband System on a Chip (SoC). We will explore how a “soft modem” can adapt to evolving infrastructural demands across small cells and macro cells, address new application use cases, and respond to emerging megatrends such as 5G non-terrestrial networks. Additionally, we will discuss market fundamentals impacting 5G deployments and share personal insights into the founding and evolution of a 5G semiconductor startup in the era of AI.
