The latest features, along with use cases for this innovative platform will be discussed. |
AIRRAYS Massive MIMO Antenna Reference Design based on Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC
|
This demo showcases increased cell capacity and cell edge performance using Massive MIMO and carrier aggregation. It is a cost-effective, small form factor, high antenna count solution that capitalizes on existing site and frequency assets. By leveraging close partnerships with joint product development with leading vRAN providers, the panel is fully vRAN compatible. |
| Flexible 5G xHAUL Transport | This demo shows 4G and 5G coexisting with both CPRI and eCPRI/RoE (Radio Over Ethernet) transport on the converged access network while highlighting controlled latency utilizing Time Sensitive Networking with IEEE 802.1CM for optimal network design. Network slicing is also highlighted in this demonstration with hard demarcation of services and fixed latency transport. |
| Adaptable xPON Solutions |
This demonstration integrates single PON HW allowing for 1G to 25G PON with SW updates. These PON solutions target the right applications at the right cost structure. This demo also showcases VOLTHA integration for open architectures. |
| In-band Telemetry Using P4 for 5G Networks | This demonstration showcases flexible data plane telemetry for higher network performance. You will see flow monitoring at 100G rate using P4 along with application level analytics with Alveo NIC in Telco DC via the Barefoot Switch ASIC and Barefoot analytics software. |
| OvS Offload on Low Profile Xilinx NIC for vRAN Acceleration | This demo shows flexible high performance OvS offload for vRAN acceleration. Highlights include: HHHL low profile NIC with 2x100G network interface and 100G host interface, OvS flow tables offload for up to 10x throughput, and OpenDaylight controller plus Open Stack support.
|
| Stateful Security (TLS/SSL) Offload at 25Gbps for Telco DC |
This demo shows application layer security offload for high efficiency in data centers. Highlighted are the TCP offload engine (ToE) at 25Gbps and up to 10K sessions on Alveo, key authentication with RSA-2K, RSA-4K and ECDHE, Bulk crypto with AES-GCM and AES-CBC at 25Gbps. |

| Accelerating 5G Network Development with an Open Radio Access Network | Xilinx & O-RAN Alliance |
Open, standards-based network architecture with interoperable interfaces and off-the-shelf components, enables mobile operators to address a diverse set of demands in support of new vertical market revenue opportunities. The O-RAN Alliance will join Xilinx on stage to discuss the latest in how to accelerate 5G network development with an open radio network. |
| Convergence in Access for 5G Networks | Faisal Dada, Strategic Marketing Manager (Xilinx) | 5G will require network upgrades and require new types of gear to address new network needs. Fronthaul gateways that allow both 5G NR and 4G LTE with traditional CPRI connections to coexist on the same network will become commonplace. Xilinx will discuss how fronthaul gateways may be built with our adaptable platforms. Further, we will show how the same hardware built for these fronthaul gateways can provide larger access services as well, including PON. Capital and operational costs must scale for cost-effective 5G services and Xilinx will show a path to a reducing CapEX, sparing inventory with ease of deployment. |
5G Wireless Backhaul: Eband Multiband, and Beyond |
Alfred Rodriguez (Xilinx) & HCL Technologies (Stefano Chinnici, Principal Wireless Architect) |
The deployment of 5G networks results in increased density, higher capacity and tighter latency requirements, dictating the need for new answers to solve the backhaul bottleneck. In this presentation, the challenges that wireless backhaul must solve and some possible solutions at the PHY layer level will be discussed. The advantages of a programmable and scalable solution covering E-band and multiband links will be detailed. |
| In-band Telemetry Using P4 for 5G Networks |
Awanish Verma, System Architect (Xilinx) & Barefoot Networks (Roberto Mari, Director Product Management) |
Telco edge in 5G networks will focus on providing high performance to mission critical and ultra-low latency applications. Traditional methods of control plane analytics cannot scale for providing high performance at high throughput. In-band network telemetry using the P4 programmable data plane and P4 run time APIs offers flow analysis with the advantage of flexibility and performance. In this talk, the data plane telemetry (INT) solution advantages and its segment routing (SRv6) and machine learning use case will be discussed. |
