Metanoia Unveils MT5824: The World's Lowest Power, Smallest Footprint 4T4R O-RU Solution

PRNewswire
Taipei [Taiwan], February 28: At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, Metanoia will showcase the MT5824 chipset, a groundbreaking 5G SoC with future-proof Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture, open-source flexibility, and industry-leading power efficiency, setting a new benchmark for 4T4R ORAN-RU solutions.
Unmatched 5G Efficiency
MT5824 delivers the world's lowest power, smallest footprint 4T4R O-RU solution--consuming 90% less power, reducing 80% BOM costs, and shrinking the footprint by 70% compared to FPGA-based solutions.
Flexible SDR Architecture
Optimized for 5G FR1/FR2 O-RU and small cell applications, MT5824 ensures seamless integration across networks requiring high security, traffic aggregation, and redundancy. Its modular design guarantees long-term adaptability and investment protection.
Open-Source Innovation for Faster Development
Metanoia's open-source Software Development Kit (SDK) eliminating vendor lock-in, enabling rapid and cost-effective customization, reducing development costs, and accelerating time-to-market.
"At Metanoia, we believe in future-proofing network investments with our flexible SDR solution and open-source approach," said Stewart Wu, Ph.D., Chairman & CEO of Metanoia. "The MT5824 represents a paradigm shift in 5G and future AnyG infrastructure, combining performance, efficiency, and adaptability for today's and tomorrow's needs."
Industry Endorsements
Pegatron 5G BU:
"Pegatron 5G has developed the PR1450 ORAN 4T4R Radio using Metanoia's reference designs and SDR chipsets," said David Hoelscher, VP & Chief Product Officer, Pegatron 5G. "We are impressed with the integration and technical support, which accelerated our 5G Radio product development."
Sera Network, Inc.:
Jerry Chien, Chairman of SERA, stated, "SERA adopted MT5824 to optimize Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and engineering turnaround time. MT5824 delivers top-tier performance while significantly reducing power consumption, cost, and footprint--forming the trifecta for next-gen design success."
