Tata Elxsi has successfully integrated the RDK-B software stack with Qualcomm’s 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Gen 3 Platform, marking a world-first achievement.
This integration enables operators to deliver high-speed, reliable, and scalable FWA solutions with features like Wi-Fi 6, advanced security, and value-added services such as Quality of Service (QoS), band steering, parental control, and VPN.
It accelerates time-to-market for FWA solutions using the Snapdragon X75 Modem-RF System, positioning the platform for next-gen broadband applications.
Tata Elxsi plans to further enhance the platform with Wi-Fi 7, paving the way for future wireless innovation
Gautam Sheoran, VP and GM, Wireless Broadband and Communications at Qualcomm Technologies, said: “We are proud to collaborate closely with Tata Elxsi, who has leveraged their considerable expertise to port the RDK-B stack to our 5G FWA Gen 3 Platform, featuring the Snapdragon® X75 Modem-RF System. This critical step empowers operators to accelerate time-to-market, deliver high performance FWA solutions, and reduce development efforts, as they deploy powerful new FWA CPE solutions. We look forward, through continued collaboration with Tata Elxsi, to expanding our engagement with the broader RDK community, giving operators more choices and flexibility in deploying state-of-the-art solutions.”
Priya S Kumar – Head, Media and Communications at Tata Elxsi, added: “This integration broadens the RDK ecosystem and silicon diversity, which has traditionally centered on wired technologies like DOCSIS and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH). By incorporating RDK-B into the cellular-managed WAN space, Tata Elxsi is excited to collaborate in positioning the Snapdragon X75 platform as a future-ready solution for high-performance broadband applications. Tata Elxsi’s continuous commitment to the RDK ecosystem enables SoCs, OEMs and operators to rapidly innovate and scale, addressing the demands of next-generation broadband technologies.”
