Compal Electronics Leads Groundbreaking 5G O-RAN Trial on Japan Monorail System with GENEViSiO, NXP and Vicinity

5G O-RAN Trial on Japan Monorail: Compal, NXP, Vicinity, and GENEViSiO collaborate, advancing urban connectivity with high-speed, low-latency technology.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, June 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Compal Electronics has led a groundbreaking 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) field trial on a Japan Monorail system, in collaboration with NXP^® Semiconductors, Vicinity, and GENEViSiO, a product line under GVTel Co. Ltd. This trial represents a significant leap forward in 5G network deployment, showcasing the potential for improved connectivity, speed, and reliability in public transportation settings.

The integration of 5G and O-RAN technologies in the monorail system offers numerous benefits, including reliable and low latency network communications essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of the monorail operations. The high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 5G enhance real-time data transmission between the monorail and control centers, enabling prompt responses to any operational issues and improving overall passenger safety.

Compal Electronics took the helm in integrating its Radio Unit (RU) and managing system integration, including complex Layer 2/3 protocol stacks. This expertise was pivotal in handling intricate data traffic and ensuring seamless communication between the monorail's onboard systems and the 5G network.

Supporting Compal in this initiative, NXP supplied advanced Layerscape^® multi-core ARM^® processors and baseband processors. These components were essential to the GENEViSiO DU (Distributed Unit) accelerator card, underscoring NXP's dedication to empowering partners with cutting-edge technology for superior 5G performance.

GENEViSiO introduced its DU accelerator card, featuring precise IEEE 1588 time synchronization solutions crucial for upholding 5G communications' integrity and efficiency across the network. This technology stands as a critical element in the O-RAN system's functionality, symbolizing GVTel Co. Ltd.'s pinnacle of innovation.

Vicinity contributed specialized high-PHY and related protocols for the GENEViSiO DU accelerator card, vital for optimizing data transmission, ensuring high-speed connectivity with minimal latency, and enhancing overall 5G O-RAN deployment performance and reliability.

This collaborative effort, spearheaded by Compal, marks a significant milestone in leveraging 5G technology within public transportation infrastructures. It provides a glimpse into the future of connectivity and the potential to create smarter, more efficient urban environments. The success of this field trial on the Japan Monorail not only demonstrates the feasibility of deploying advanced 5G networks in demanding settings but also sets a new standard for innovation and cooperation among leading technology providers.
