O-RAN mMIMO RU Enablement
Olympia Bridge enablement package for 32TR/64TR massive MIMO O-RU designs.
Massive MIMO, Field-Upgradeable
Massive MIMO radios power everything from dense urban deployments to wide-area coverage, enabling both capacity gains and extended range through complex beamforming tasks.
Altera's scalable mMIMO O-RU Cat B/C Enablement Package is pre-integrated and validated into a 32TR mMIMO O-RU Whitebox, accelerating time to market, reducing OPEX and CAPEX, and providing a clear path to next-generation Cat C/ULPI systems.

Common Questions
A massive MIMO O-RU enablement package provides scalable radio-processing and interface resources for high antenna-count designs. Olympia Bridge targets 32TR and 64TR radios on Agilex 7 F-Series and M-Series, with a Category B/C package pre-integrated and validated on the 32TR development whitebox.

The enablement package supports 32TR and 64TR radio designs, while the listed development whitebox is a 32TR platform. That distinction matters when selecting hardware: the prototype-quality 32TR system provides an evaluation starting point, while a 64TR implementation must fit its chosen processing, RFIC and interface resources.
Dual 25GE interfaces provide the O-RAN fronthaul path, while JESD204C connects the FPGA radio processing to RFICs. Olympia Bridge lists JESD204C operation up to 32.44 Gbps, supporting evaluation of RFIC interoperability with the selected configuration rather than implying compatibility with every RF device.
