flexiPHY

flexiPHY is Octasic’s software product line that implements the Physical Layers (PHY) for Small Cell Basestations (BTS), ranging from indoor Femto cell to outdoor Micro cell and offering a cell size of up to 50 km in rural areas and user capacity of up to 32 users per DSP.

The flexiPHY line consists of five Software Defined Radio (SDR) products that address the 3GPP cellular standards GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA 2000, UMTS/HSPA and LTE. Network scan supplied by Octasic Radio Utility System (RUS) can be used for Self Organizing Network (SON) capabilities.

All five flexiPHY products are designed to run on any hardware platform based on the Octasic Opus2 OCT2224W (DSP). flexiPHY resides on the OCT2224W and the protocol stack resides on the Host CPU (i.MX6 ARM A9 processor on OCTBTS 3000/3500/8000 or Intel® processor on the OCTBTS 3600). Core network can reside on The Host CPU or run externally to Octasic platform. To use flexiPHY on any Octasic platform takes a software-only upgrade.

Each flexiPHY is offered pre-integrated with protocol stack and core networks provided by our partners.

flexiPHY products are available through source code or object code licenses.
