Tata Elxsi Integrates RDK-B Software with Qualcomm’s 5G FWA Gen 3 Platform

Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, announced the successful integration of its RDK-B software stack with the Qualcomm® 5G FWA Gen 3 platform.

This first-of-its-kind integration opens a new path for operators to deliver fast, reliable and scalable high-speed FWA solutions. RDK-B middleware integration includes key features such as Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, packet statistics, and advanced security options, making the platform versatile and deployable in both internal and external environments.

Operators can now provide value-added services such as quality of service (QoS), bandwidth steering, parental controls and VPNs, improving the overall broadband experience.

Looking to the future, Tata Elxsi will upgrade the platform to include next-generation features such as Wi-Fi 7. This upgrade will further enhance FWA devices, offering operators more flexible, scalable and cost-effective solutions, setting the stage for the next generation of wireless innovations.

Gautam Sheoran – Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Broadband and Communications at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

We are proud to be working closely with Tata Elxsi, which has leveraged its considerable expertise to port the RDK-B stack to our 5G FWA Gen 3 platform, equipped with the Snapdragon® X75 RF modem system. This critical step enables operators to reduce time to market, deliver high-performance FWA solutions, and reduce development efforts as they implement new, high-performance FWA CPE solutions. We look forward, through our continued partnership with Tata Elxsi, to expanding our engagement with the broader RDK community, giving operators greater choice and flexibility in implementing cutting-edge solutions.
