The performance of every 5G network ultimately depends on the quality of the physical layer implementation embedded in its radio hardware. For chipmakers, RAN vendors, and infrastructure OEMs, the FEC and signal processing IP at the heart of their designs determines how close to the standard's ceiling their products can perform — and how efficiently they can do it in silicon.

5G NR places demanding requirements on LDPC and Polar FEC implementations — high throughput, low latency, high coding gain, and efficient silicon area utilisation across a wide range of configurations. Software-based approaches cannot meet these requirements at the performance levels that competitive terrestrial 5G products demand. AccelerComm's IP is designed from the ground up for hardware implementation.

AccelerComm's LDPC and Polar IP cores are proven across leading chipmakers and RAN vendors, with production deployments in terrestrial 5G infrastructure. FPGA- and ASIC-ready, they integrate cleanly into existing design flows and deliver measurable performance advantages — the same algorithmic depth and implementation efficiency that AccelerComm brings to NTN now applied to the ground infrastructure that 5G is built on.

KEY CHALLENGES

ACCELERCOMM SOLUTIONS

KEY CHALLENGE

  • Competitive 5G chipsets and RAN products require FEC performance at or near the standard's theoretical ceiling

ACCELERCOMM SOLUTION

  • AccelerComm's LDPC and Polar IP cores are developed from decades of academic research at the University of Southampton, delivering performance at the ceiling of what 3GPP allows

KEY CHALLENGE

  • Silicon area and power budgets demand highly efficient FEC implementations without compromising coding gain

ACCELERCOMM SOLUTION

  • Area-efficient, low-power IP core designs optimised specifically for FPGA and ASIC implementation — delivering maximum performance within tight silicon constraints

KEY CHALLENGE

  • High-throughput, low-latency requirements across a wide range of 5G NR configurations add implementation complexity

ACCELERCOMM SOLUTION

  • Validating system-level performance across the full 5G stack adds time and cost to chipset and RAN development programmes

KEY CHALLENGE

  • AccelerComm's scalable IP architecture supports the full range of 5G NR LDPC and Polar configurations with consistent high throughput and low latency across all operating points

ACCELERCOMM SOLUTION

  • Terrestrial RAN products increasingly need to support NTN extension, requiring IP that works across both deployment environments

KEY CHALLENGE

  • The AccelerComm EVK, developed with Radisys, provides end-to-end system validation from Layer 1 through Layer 3 — reducing integration risk and compressing evaluation timelines

ACCELERCOMM SOLUTION

  • AccelerComm's IP is proven in both terrestrial and NTN deployments — giving chipmakers and vendors a single FEC foundation for products that span ground and satellite applications
