Metanoia Communications has unveiled a new AI-powered 5G Open SDR (Software-Defined Radio) platform at Wireless Japan 2026 in Tokyo, presenting a range of FR1 and FR2 Open RAN radio solutions based on its MT2824 5G system-on-chip (SoC) and MOSART open SDR platform.

The company said the platform is designed to support AI-RAN deployment through a flexible SDR architecture that allows operators and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to integrate AI workloads, improve energy efficiency and extend hardware lifecycle capability through software-based upgrades.

OPEN RAN ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT

According to Metanoia, the MT2824-based platform supports the O-RAN Alliance WG7 “white-box” architecture and includes several radio unit configurations, including a 4T4R 24 dBm indoor Open Radio Unit (ORU), 4T4R 5W and 15W FR1 outdoor ORUs, and a 50 dBm FR2 outdoor radio intended for fixed wireless access and private network applications.

The company also stated that it provides Hardware Design Kits (HDK) and Semi-Turn-Key Software Development Kits (SDK) intended to support accelerated ODM development and commercial deployment.

MOSART SDR PLATFORM FOR AI-RAN APPLICATIONS

At the centre of the platform is MOSART (Metanoia Open Source Advanced Radio Technology), described as an open Linux-based SDR stack integrated with the company’s MRAS (Metanoia Radio Acceleration Subsystem) DSP acceleration technology.

Metanoia said the architecture is intended to provide operators and ODMs with greater flexibility over network features, security and lifecycle management without dependence on proprietary software systems.

Dr Stewart Wu, CEO of Metanoia, stated that software-defined radio technology forms the foundation for scalable AI-RAN infrastructure and enables networks to evolve alongside emerging AI edge applications.

Metanoia is demonstrating the platform at Wireless Japan 2026 at West Hall 4, Booth W-61.
