Lattice Semiconductor, the low power programmable leader, today expanded its Lattice ORAN™ solution stack to enable flexible, secure timing and synchronization for Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) deployments. Building on its existing control data security and low power hardware acceleration capabilities, Lattice ORAN now facilitates tight synchronization for ORAN fronthaul interfaces compliant with key IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standards and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) profiles to enhance the stack’s ability to accelerate and secure current and next-gen customer applications.

With integrated mutual authentication to implement secure synchronization, the latest Lattice ORAN solution stack (v 1.1) includes support for:

IEEE Standards

IEEE Std 1588™-2019 default profile

IEEE Std 802.1AS™-2020 for Time Sensitive Network (TSN)

ITU-T Telecom Profiles

Frequency synchronization (G.8265.1)

Phase/time synchronization with full timing support (G.8275.1),

Phase/time synchronization with partial timing support (G.8275.2)

ITU-T Timing Characteristics of T-BC, T-TSC Class C (G.8273.2)

A new development platform based on Lattice FPGAs has also been added to the Lattice ORAN stack. The Secure Timing and Synchronization Kit with an FPGA board and timing-source board is designed to simplify testing, demonstration, and development of new telecommunications applications.
