NXP introduces programmable baseband processors for the 5G access edge

Ready for the rising tide of 5G rollouts, NXP has a set of programmable baseband processors for the 5G access edge. With programmability comes flexibility, enabling these chips to support evolving standards and deployment models while facilitating interoperability.

Layerscape Access processors seek to revolutionize network economics by lengthening hardware lifecycles by enabling incremental upgrades via software. To this end, their key feature is programmability, including in the physical layer. NXP is, therefore, pleased to introduce new Layerscape Access processors, the LA9350, LA9310, and LA1200 families. These new devices have programmable PHYs and control functions. Diverse systems can use these programmable processors. Some of the company's most exciting targets are in 5G access.
