Metanoia Unveils MT2824 'Cobra' 5G SoC and MOSART SDR Platform at MWC 2026: Revolutionizing Radio Infrastructure
Metanoia has introduced its MT2824 "Cobra" 5G SoC and MOSART Open Foundation Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform at MWC 2026, showcasing significant commercial progress in the radio infrastructure sector. The company aims to revolutionize the economics of FR1 and FR2 radio infrastructure to support Edge AI and massive connectivity demands. Metanoia offers ODMs the opportunity to streamline development processes, reduce costs, and eliminate proprietary software constraints through its open architecture approach.
The MT2824 baseband SoC serves as the foundation for Metanoia's Open RAN solution, aligning with O-RAN WG7 "white box" architecture. The company provides Hardware Design Kits (HDK) and a Software Development Kit (SDK) to empower ODMs to swiftly transition from concept to deployment. Metanoia has already secured multiple design wins across various network segments, including public, private, and MSO networks.
Central to the platform is MOSART (Metanoia Open Source Advanced Radio Technology), a managed Open Foundation Linux-based SDR stack compatible with MT2824 and other Linux-capable platforms. By leveraging MRAS DSP acceleration, ODMs can take control of their feature roadmap, lifecycle management, and security, breaking free from proprietary software dependencies. Metanoia's CEO, Stewart Wu, emphasizes the importance of Software Defined Radio in enabling cost-effective and scalable wireless access, empowering ODMs and operators to shape the future of AI-driven edge networks.
Metanoia is currently showcasing its FR1 and FR2 development platforms and ORAN-aligned reference radios at MWC 2026, Hall 5 (5L24MR & 5L26MR). The company, headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan, specializes in SDR SoC solutions for 5G Open RAN Radio Units and small cells, offering integrated silicon solutions for next-generation networks.

In conclusion, Metanoia's innovative approach to radio infrastructure development, coupled with its MOSART platform and MT2824 SoC, presents a compelling opportunity for ODMs to accelerate their radio deployment processes, reduce costs, and gain greater control over their network evolution. The company's commitment to open architecture and software-defined solutions underscores its vision for a more flexible and efficient wireless access landscape.
