Open RAN silicon and firmware for power-efficient 5G base stations
GreenWave Radios designs RF system-on-chip (SoC) and embedded firmware for Open RAN cellular base stations, with a focus on reducing power consumption and operational cost in 5G infrastructure. The tech stack—ARM, C/C++, Embedded Linux, Yocto, Xilinx, plus RF design tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR)—reflects a hardware-firmware co-design operation. Hiring velocity is decelerating while seniority skews toward senior engineers and leads, suggesting a product-focused consolidation phase rather than team expansion.
InnoPhase Inc., operating as GreenWave Radios, builds digital-to-RF solutions centered on the Hermes64 RF SoC, a purpose-built silicon platform for Open RAN active antenna arrays. The company targets network operators and infrastructure vendors seeking to reduce energy consumption and operating expenses in 5G deployments. Based in San Diego with R&D facilities across four locations, GreenWave maintains a portfolio of over 120 patent filings. Active development spans firmware, device drivers, Linux board support packages, and system integration—all grounded in real-time, low-latency constraints inherent to cellular radio hardware.
