Altera's programmable solutions accelerate the next generation of 5G-Advanced and 6G wideband radios. Altera's Open RAN solutions and a robust ecosystem enable radio infrastructure providers to deliver scalable, intelligent, future-ready platforms faster and with greater flexibility SAN JOSE, Calif., 2026-02-26 At Mobile World Congress 2026, Altera, the largest pure-play FPGA solutions provider, highlighted how it's leveraging strategic partnerships to enable the next generation of advanced radio systems through programmable innovations. By ensuring seamless integration between leading radio platforms and Altera's FPGAs and Open RAN reference solutions, Altera is enabling communications providers to accelerate advanced 5G deployments, prototype early 6G architectures, and expand into emerging Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) applications such as satellite and airborne connectivity. Altera and Broadcom Advancing Future-Ready Radio Platforms Altera recently collaborated with Broadcom to help enable the next generation of high-performance radio platforms by combining Altera's Agilex(TM) 7 FPGAs with Broadcom's leadership in advanced radio silicon. Together, the companies successfully completed interoperability testing between Agilex 7 FPGAs and Broadcom's BroadPeak SoC platform, validating robust, deterministic, high-throughput performance across wideband radio configurations leveraging JESD204C connectivity at 32.44Gbps. Designed for large-scale deployments, the solution meets stringent power consumption envelopes and thermal hotspot constraints, enabling dense, high-capacity radios without compromising reliability or form factor. Together, the BroadPeak SoC platform allows equipment manufacturers and network operators to deploy wideband radios with advanced RF performance, evolving beamforming and AI-assisted signal processing, and open innovation as the industry moves toward 5G-Advanced and beyond. "As mobile networks evolve toward higher bandwidths, larger antenna arrays, and increasingly intelligent RAN architectures, the industry requires deep, open, and highly optimized partnerships across silicon platforms," said Venkat Yadavalli, head of Altera's Business Management Group. "Our collaboration with Broadcom combines Altera's programmable compute leadership with Broadcom's world-class radio SoC technology to deliver scalable, future-ready platforms." Successful interoperability between Altera and Broadcom's latest silicon platforms enables customers to rapidly build scalable radio platforms supporting O-RAN 7.2x splits, from 8T8R to 128T128R configurations and beyond. The combined solution supports next-generation 3GPP FR1 and FR3 bands, while efficiently partitioning baseband and RF processing to simplify system design and accelerate time-to-market. Vijay Janapaty, Vice President and GM, Physical Layer Products (PLP) Division at Broadcom, added, "By combining Broadcom's industry-leading RF and converter technology for 5G Advanced and emerging 6G with Altera's high-performance, power-efficient FPGAs and proven radio beamforming and L1 low solutions, we are helping infrastructure providers move faster, reduce complexity, and deploy next-generation wireless networks with confidence."
