ITRI Showcases Newest O-RAN Outside Base Station Options at COMPUTEX with MediaTek, LITEON Expertise, and Extra

On the opening day of Asia’s main international ICT and IoT commerce present, COMPUTEX 2024, the Industrial Expertise Analysis Institute (ITRI) unveiled its newest O-RAN micro outside base station options in collaboration with MediaTek, LITEON Expertise, Alpha Networks, and Wiwynn Corp.

This versatile connectivity expertise, masking sub-6 GHz, millimeter waves, and Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites, has enabled a number of enterprises to advance their merchandise into international markets. In collaboration with MediaTek, ITRI assisted within the verification of direct-to-cell connections between satellites and cell telephones, solidifying international management for its pioneering non-terrestrial community (NTN) mobile-phone chipsets. LITEON Expertise leveraged this expertise to penetrate the European non-public community market with its millimeter-wave base station, whereas Alpha Networks noticed its micro base station adopted by North America’s Residents Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and public community operators. Wiwynn Corp. has additionally made strides within the US and European non-public community markets with its O-RAN end-to-end system integration.

“Via COMPUTEX, ITRI goals to exhibit the ability of Taiwan’s AI-ICT trade and its distinctive cross-disciplinary capabilities,” mentioned Wei-Chung Hwang, Deputy Common Director of ITRI’s Data and Communications Analysis Laboratories. “ITRI has been consistently adapting to developments in AI applied sciences to roll out new options. Our newly developed low-carbon good fishing fleet system, for instance, makes use of AIoT and massive information to attain fleet route planning, computerized drone patrolling, and fish college recognition. In comparison with conventional searches via helicopters, this automated system triples the fishing effectivity and reduces prices by 65%, enhancing the competitiveness of pelagic fishery operations.”

The exhibition highlights applied sciences in 4 key tendencies: AI computing, superior connectivity, immersive actuality, and sustainability. Exemplifying these themes, ITRI’s showcased improvements additionally embrace:

AIoT Non-Contact Huge-Space Physiological Sensing Expertise for Toddler, Pet, and Aged Care
This AI-powered sensor gives very important signal monitoring providers for child healthcare, pet wearable expertise, and sleeping pad care. “Its low-power radar permits steady monitoring with out pores and skin contact, monitoring heartbeat, respiration, exercise, sleep, and train efficiency, and offering alerts for abnormalities,” mentioned Jen-Chieh Cheng, Common Director of ITRI’s Service Techniques Expertise Middle. “It may be built-in into varied wearables and healthcare gadgets and used alongside electrocardiographic, blood oxygen, and movement sensing applied sciences.” This expertise was named a CES Innovation Awards Honoree in 2021 and 2022.

Interactive Luminous Blessing System
This AI-empowered system combines interactive show with synthetic intelligence expertise to create fascinating 3D visible results, equivalent to illuminating digital blessing lanterns. Customers can submit their needs via the LINE app, and the semi-cylindrical versatile show will showcase their names because the lanterns gentle up, making a mesmerizing and customized expertise. This expertise introduces a brand new dimension to design exhibitions, partaking audiences and selling a way of collective enjoyment.

Versatile Perovskite X-Ray Detection Movie for Medical and Industrial Inspection
In comparison with standard CsI movies, perovskite movies exhibit superior light-conversion effectivity and determination. With decrease X-ray doses, they exhibit even quicker imaging traits. ITRI has developed a pivotal coating approach to reinforce the interface adaptability between perovskite and TFT substrate, making it well-suited for large-area functions, equivalent to in-line inspection of circuit boards. The efficiency of the large-area perovskite movie has been validated by InnoCare Optoelectronics, the tier-one producer of the X-ray detectors.
