O-RAN Macro RU Enablement

Sail River supports both 4T4R and 8T8R configurations on Agilex 5 and Agilex 7. The package provides parameterizable radio designs, while the listed whitebox is an 8TR n78 hardware platform. Engineers should distinguish the supported reference-design configurations from the specific evaluation hardware they select.

The 25GE O-RAN fronthaul connects the radio unit’s network-facing data path, while JESD204C provides the RFIC interface. Sail River lists JESD204C operation up to 32.44 Gbps, with the implemented interface configuration matched to the chosen FPGA platform and RFIC rather than assumed to fit every device.

Configurable DFE processing lets radio designs adapt their signal-processing and power-amplifier control functions to different use cases. Rural high-power sites and dense urban deployments have different implementation needs, making modular FPGA resources useful for tailoring the radio path while preserving an adaptable protocol and processing platform.

The 8TR whitebox provides EVT-quality RF hardware for development, while the enablement package supplies reusable IP and parameterizable radio designs. The listed platform is an Agilex 7 F-Series-based n78 TDD 8x40W radio, providing a hardware starting point rather than making every adapted design production-qualified.
