Key Advantages: Fx550 Empowering Industry Digital Transformation
Built on the Samsung Exynos Modem platform, the Fx550 module sets new benchmarks in process technology, transmission standards, and networking flexibility:
- 3GPP Rel.16 Support for Reliable Communications
Fully compliant with 3GPP Release 16, Fx550 delivers lower latency and higher bandwidth, meeting the demands of real-time data transmission and high-capacity connectivity in FWA and IoT applications. - Carrier Aggregation for Breakthrough Speeds
In NR SA mode, Fx550 supports up to NR 5CC carrier aggregation (200MHz bandwidth), achieving peak downlink speeds of up to 4.67Gbps. Its ability to efficiently aggregate fragmented spectrum enhances operator's live network's performance and user experience globally.
In NSA mode, it supports NR 2CC + LTE 5CC aggregation at maximum, with peak downlink speeds up to 6.47Gbps. Under LTE networks, Fx550 supports up to Cat.20 capability, ensuring strong compatibility with global 4G live networks. This advanced carrier aggregation capability improves spectrum utilization and ensures high-speed connectivity even in complex network scenarios. - Open-architecture for Optimized System Cost
Fx550 adopts a high-performance modem architecture and has been deeply adapted with mainstream application processors (APs/Host CPU) such as Broadcom and Realtek. This compatibility provides developers with greater flexibility, reduces development costs, and enables ODMs to create differentiated products.
In addition, Fx550 supports multiple operating systems including Linux, OpenWRT, RDK-B, and PrplOS, facilitating rapid FWA device development, software stack reusement, and seamless upgrades to the latest Wi-Fi Mesh standards, while enhancing Wi-Fi compatibility for CPE devices.
Global Coverage: Multiple Variants for Key Markets
To meet regional certification and deployment requirements, Fx550 is available already in multiple versions, including FM550-EAU (Europe/Asia/Australia), FG550-EAU (Europe/Asia/Australia), FG550-JP (Japan), FG550-NA (North America), and FG550-MEA (Middle East & Africa). The modules are now ready to support customers globally with both products and technical services.
The mass production of Fx550 marks a crucial step in Fibocom's global 5G ecosystem strategy. Moving forward, Fibocom will continue to collaborate with global industry partners such as Samsung to lead 5G even 6G innovation and accelerate the widespread adoption of 5G FWA and IoT applications worldwide.
