SubsidieMeestersDevelopment finalization and optimization of Argo Semi Active Antenna Catalyst to revolutionize sub-6GHz 5G wireless systems
The Argo Active Antenna Catalyst project aims to optimize and commercialize a cost-effective, integrated RFIC and antenna solution to enhance 5G deployment efficiency and coverage.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The advent of 5G has completely transformed the telecommunications landscape, elevating the wireless experience to unprecedented heights. However, the key challenge associated with 5G deployment is the substantial increase in the number of required radios, which translates to high CAPEX & OPEX.
Challenges in 5G Deployment
The transition from the passive to active antenna concept, packing tenths of radios in a Radio Unit, is contributing to both increased intricacy and expenses.
Solution Overview
The Argo Active Antenna Catalyst enables a single board RU, which represents a groundbreaking integration of RF Integrated Circuit (RFIC) with Ultra Slim Printed Antenna Array.
Benefits of the Argo Active Antenna Catalyst
Our path reduction RFIC leads to increased flexibility in network deployment, which can be leveraged to enhance:
- Cost-effectiveness
- Reduce power consumption
- Expand coverage
Future Plans
With EIC support, we intend to:
- Finalize the optimization, manufacturing & validation of our RFIC
- Commercialize ‘Argo Active Antenna Catalyst’ as a comprehensive solution
- Scale-up globally
