A 32T32R Massive MIMO O-RAN radio for band n78, with integrated ULPI for enhanced uplink performance.
Navabeam is a 32T32R Massive MIMO O-RAN radio unit for band n78, supporting O-RAN 7.2x fronthaul with WiSig’s ULPI technology for advanced uplink processing inside the radio.
It interoperates with standards-conformant O-DUs and supports both ULPI and conventional non-ULPI operation.
200W Aggregate Transmit Power
32 transmit and 32 receive paths, with up to 76 dBm EIRP.
3.3–3.67 GHz | 200 MHz IBW / OBW
Supports two Component carriers with 100 MHz configurations.
O-RAN 7.2 B,C | 2×25G SFP28
Standards-based fronthaul with PTP/IEEE 1588 and SyncE synchronization.
30 kHz SCS | 256-QAM | Short, Long PRACH
Supports QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM operation.
IP65 | −40 °C to +55 °C | Passive cooling
Designed for pole- or wall-mounted outdoor deployments.
Advanced Uplink Processing
Supports both ULPI DMRS-BF-EQ and DMRS-BF-NEQ architectures inside radio.

While being one of the earliest in the industry to support ULPI, we also have higher performance equalisers that can handle any wireless channel in a superior manner compared to other vendors.
That matters commercially. A vendor whose differentiator is lock-in makes you dependent. A vendor whose differentiator is performance helps you actually win with the operator
Operator trials, private 5G deployments, interoperability testing or academic collaboration.
