MaxLinear Inc. (NASDAQ: MXL) announced the availability of its Trinity platform, designed to deliver carrier-grade wireless backhaul speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second for 5G networks. The platform combines the company's URX850 system-on-chip with a cloud-native API framework that integrates with MaxLinear's millimeter and microwave modems.

The Trinity platform integrates multiple backhaul functions into a single chip, which the company states reduces radio system complexity, cost and power consumption. The system supports the Open Compute Project Switch Abstraction Interface, enabling integration with software-defined, cloud-managed networks.

"We are excited about the capabilities of the Trinity platform, which reflect MaxLinear's leadership in highly integrated system-on-chip solutions for wireless backhaul," said Puneet Sethi, senior vice president and general manager of MaxLinear's Network Infrastructure and Carrier Business Unit.

The platform offers equipment manufacturers cost and power savings of up to 50% on relevant parts, according to the company. The system operates in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and includes hardware-accelerated encryption capabilities. Trinity can simultaneously aggregate up to four microwave wireless links and automatically adapts to changing channel conditions.

"Meeting the capacity demands of 5G while maintaining sustainable deployment costs requires a new level of integration and cost optimization in backhaul design," said Randeep Sekhon, chief technology officer at Bharti Airtel.

The Trinity platform, including the URX850 and associated backhaul software kit, is available now. Original equipment manufacturer products based on Trinity are expected to launch in the first half of 2027.

MaxLinear, based in Carlsbad, California, provides radio frequency, analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits for access, connectivity, infrastructure and industrial applications.
