5G/6G Networks

Future-Proofing Mobile Network Infrastructure

The Challenge 

6G networks will demand 400+ Gbps per cell site with sub-millisecond latency to support holographic communications, digital twins, and autonomous systems. Current Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) solutions struggle with signal integrity at these speeds, while power consumption at thousands of distributed cell sites becomes economically prohibitive. 

Our Solution 

Solinide’s ultra-low-loss silicon nitride platform enables efficient, high-bandwidth optical transport with unprecedented channel density and signal integrity over extended distances. The physics of optical combs enable high performance radio synchronization. 

Key Benefits: 

  • >32 channel DWDM for massive parallel data transport
  • Maintained signal quality over 2+ km without amplification 
  • Sub-ps Radio Syncronisation 
  • Simplified network architecture reducing CAPEX and OPEX 

Technical Specifications 

  • Clock Synchronisation: <1 ps  
  • Channel Spacing: 100 GHz (ITU grid compatible) 
  • Modulation Support: Up to 1024 QAM
  • Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C (outdoor rated)  

Validation 

Joint work with Nokia Bell Labs in EU Programme.

Target Applications 

  • 6G fronthaul and xHaul networks
  • Distributed antenna systems (D-MIMO) 
  • Storage area networks (SAN)
  • Private 5G/6G enterprise networks
  • Massive MIMO deployments
  • Open RAN (O-RAN) infrastructure
