Software-defined silicon is coming for telecom kit later this year
While the IT industry waits to see if and when Intel will introduce software-defined silicon in Xeon CPUs, one startup us is moving ahead with plans to bring a pay-for-what-you-use pricing model to the telecom market with its"base station-on-a-chip" later this year.that it has begun sampling an EdgeQ-based 5G small cell and OpenRAN PCIe accelerator card for base stations with telecom operators and equipment makers.
If EdgeQ chips appear in telecom products on schedule, it could represent a significant change in how companies pay for equipment. That's because the startup is offering its chip first and foremost as, meaning an organization would only have to pay for the features it uses, that can be toggled on or off through over-the-air updates from EdgeQ and its system partners.
"If you buy from anybody else other than EdgeQ, you have to pay for all the features on the get-go, which means a lot of capex investment. With EdgeQ, what you can do is you can buy features à la carte," said Kidwai, who previously worked on network and AI products at Intel.
