15. • Original Design Manufacturing
ODM, or original design manufacturing, is also also referred to as “private labeling.”
This is where an importer selects an already-existing product design from a factory catalog,
makes a few small changes and sells it under their own brand name. Changes can include
things like packaging or product bundles, colors and branding, and some limited
adjustments to components or functionality
• Original Equipment Manufacturing
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturing, and refers to products that are
fully designed by one company and then licensed out to a manufacturer to produce. The
Apple iPhone, for example, was invented and designed by Apple, and then licensed out to
Foxconn to produce. As a result, the iPhone enjoys a higher level of product differentiation
because its design is only available to Apple and its licensed manufacturer.
In a software-defined radio (SDR), some of the radio functions typically implemented in hardware are converted into software. Typically, an SDR receiver uses an ADC to change the analog signals from the antenna into digital signals that are processed using software on a general-purpose processor.
Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software-Defined-Radio (SDR) products have been traditionally used for Military RADAR and communication applications because of their high performance, and design flexibility. The latest SDR products offer SoC solutions with integrated I/O, ARM processors, and large FPGAs that include intellectual property (IP) for accessing, routing, and processing digital data. Combining these attributes with superior signal integrity, phase-coherent sampling, and multi-channel transceivers a COTS SDR system is an ideal choice for your 5G development platform.
