Embedding the GNSS timing module into the Open RAN Accelerator Card delivers significant savings. In fact, the card costs less on average than a single, stand-alone timing module. The Accelerator Card’s performance improvements also reduce the power consumption of servers for additional OpEx savings. And, if telecommunications operators move to a different vendor platform in the future, they can easily swap out Layer 1 functionality. Doing this requires that the PCIe cards in their existing hardware be replaced—providing a low-cost migration path.
