Description

The Qualcomm X100 5G RAN Accelerator for HPE is a PCIe Gen4 inline accelerator card designed to offload compute-intensive L1/Physical Layer baseband functions — including demodulation, beamforming, channel coding, and Massive MIMO computation — from the host CPU in virtualised and Open RAN deployments. Supporting both mmWave and sub-6 GHz 5G RAN, this variant features a 10MHz/PP1S timing reference input without an integrated GNSS receiver, making it suited for deployments where external timing is provided by network infrastructure. With an integrated 300Gbps Fronthaul Ethernet interface (3x QSFPs, eCPRI), 35W TDP, and O-RAN compliance across all 7.x split functions, it delivers high-capacity, low-latency 5G network acceleration at enterprise scale.

Up to three X100 cards can be installed per HPE ProLiant DL110 Gen11 server, enabling scalable baseband offload with support for Massive MIMO 64T64R and up to 16DL/8UL carrier components per card. The upgradable L1 software architecture ensures future 3GPP release compatibility and extends platform lifespan, reducing total cost of ownership for carriers and enterprise 5G operators alike.

FAQs

Q: What distinguishes the 10MHz/PP1S Input variant from other Qualcomm X100 SKUs?
A: This SKU (S1C91C) uses an external 10MHz/PP1S timing reference input and does not include an integrated GNSS receiver. It is suited for deployments where precise timing synchronisation is delivered by existing network timing infrastructure, such as a grandmaster clock or PRTC, rather than from GPS/GNSS directly at the card.

Q: Which HPE server is this card compatible with?
A: The Qualcomm X100 5G RAN Accelerator is designed for the HPE ProLiant DL110 Gen11, which supports up to three X100 cards simultaneously for scalable baseband offload capacity.

Q: What 5G baseband functions does this accelerator offload from the CPU?
A: The X100 offloads latency-sensitive L1/Physical Layer functions including demodulation, channel coding, beamforming, and Massive MIMO (64T64R) computation, freeing server CPU resources for higher-layer workloads in virtualised Open RAN environments.

Q: Is this card O-RAN compliant and does it support Open RAN deployments?
A: Yes. The Qualcomm X100 is fully O-RAN compliant, supporting all 7.x functional split options and future split configurations such as 7.3. It integrates into COTS servers as a standard PCIe inline accelerator, making it well-suited for Open RAN and vRAN platform deployments.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE Qualcomm X100 5G RAN Accelerator (S1C91C) in Australia?
A: Yes. IP Trading Australia stocks enterprise HPE server accelerators including the S1C91C. Visit iptrading.com.au or contact our team for pricing, availability, and deployment guidance tailored to Australian 5G infrastructure projects.

Q: How does the upgradable L1 software architecture benefit long-term deployments?
A: The X100's upgradable L1 software allows operators to adopt future 3GPP release features and new split options without replacing hardware. This extends platform lifespan and reduces total cost of ownership for carriers running evolving 5G networks.
