Multi-channel software-defined radio platforms and beamforming front-ends from 400 MHz to 29.5 GHz, for 5G-Advanced and O-RAN, 6G research, satellite ground segments and RF test. Engineered in Germany.
Our systems are based on four platform families and configured to the customer's band, aperture and interface. This keeps development effort, test coverage and lead times predictable.
Multi-channel, phase-coherent transceivers on adaptive SoC/FPGA platforms. The digital core of our arrays, and a stand-alone building block for testbeds and radio development.
Fully digital and sub-array hybrid antenna panels for sub-6 GHz massive MIMO and the 7–8 GHz range now being studied for 6G (FR3).
Analog beamforming tiles with dual-polarised patch arrays, tileable into larger apertures for fixed wireless access, backhaul, NTN terminals and OTA test.
Open-fronthaul radio units for private networks, neutral-host and research deployments, interoperable with standards-compliant O-DU stacks.
Figures are indicative and depend on configuration, band and environmental class. Detailed datasheets and evaluation units are available under NDA.
We develop the complete signal chain in-house: antenna array, RF front-end, data conversion, digital beamforming and calibration logic, and the clock and timing distribution.
RF-sampling data converters digitise signals up to 7.2 GHz without intermediate frequency stages. This reduces mixers, image filters and spurious products, and allows band changes in firmware.
Shared reference, SYSREF and JESD204C subclass-1 deterministic latency keep every channel aligned after every power cycle, including across multiple chassis.
Every array is characterised for amplitude, phase and delay over frequency and temperature. Coefficients live on the device; an integrated coupler network corrects drift in operation.
O-RAN 7.2x fronthaul with NETCONF/YANG management for RAN, VITA 49.2 streaming for SDR use, plus documented APIs with GNU Radio and SoapySDR support.
PTP and SyncE per ITU-T G.8275.1 with GNSS-disciplined holdover, sized to the ±1.5 µs time-alignment budget of synchronised TDD deployments.
Secure boot, signed firmware with rollback protection, an SBOM for every release and a defined vulnerability-handling process, aligned with the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Our customers are network equipment vendors, system integrators, operators' R&D departments and research institutions.
Radio units and massive-MIMO panels for multi-vendor RAN, interoperability labs and pilot deployments.
Coherent, reconfigurable arrays for the new mid-band, extreme MIMO and AI-native air-interface experiments.
Compact O-RAN radios for industrial 5G in the German local-licence band and comparable spectrum across Europe.
Electronically steered tiles for ground terminals tracking LEO and MEO constellations, with no moving parts.
Joint communication and sensing research on phase-stable multi-channel hardware with full-duplex timing control.
Channel sounding, MIMO OTA test beds, beam characterisation and wideband spectrum monitoring.
Projects follow a defined sequence with documented deliverables at each stage.
Band, aperture, channel count, interfaces and environment. We map them to a platform and confirm feasibility with link-budget and array simulations.
Engineering units for integration in your system, with test reports and early firmware for development.
Built at qualified EU manufacturing partners. Every unit is RF-tested and calibrated, and ships with serialised data.
Firmware maintenance, security updates, obsolescence management and last-time-buy notification.
Typical programmes range from ten to a few thousand units per year. Production runs at external EMS partners with documented processes, per-unit testing and calibration.
RF performance and calibration data are recorded for every serial number and delivered with the unit.
Serialised assemblies with component-lot and firmware traceability across the product lifecycle.
Assembly at qualified EMS partners in the EU to IPC-A-610 Class 2 or 3, depending on the application.
Design and test documentation supporting your CE / RED (2014/53/EU), EMC, RoHS and REACH conformity.
Products are classified under the EU Dual-Use Regulation (EU) 2021/821, and we handle export licensing where it is required.
Secure development lifecycle, SBOM and coordinated vulnerability disclosure, in step with the CRA timeline.
infotec-it is an independent RF engineering company based in Brüggen, Germany, close to the Dutch border. We develop software-defined radio and beamforming hardware for telecommunications, satellite communication and RF test applications.
Development is done in-house. Manufacturing, environmental testing and certification are carried out together with established partners in the EU.
