Xilinx All Programmable Devices Enabling ZTE Pre5G 3D/Massive MIMO Base Station

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced its All Programmable devices are enabling ZTE’s pre5G 3D/massive MIMO base station. Comprising 128 antennas, ZTE’s massive MIMO system uses a frontal area similar to existing 8-antennas systems. Integrating antennas, base station units and RFs in one module, ZTE’s Massive MIMO base station uses only one-third of the installation space of traditional systems, lowering operating costs and total cost ownership of operators. At the core of this solution are Xilinx® 28nm Kintex®-7 devices, offering industry-leading digital front end processing and advanced baseband algorithm implementation to compliment the functionality of ZTE’s high-performance vector processor SoC.
