Business Wire
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), the industry
leader in technology for small cells, and Contela, Inc. today
announced that the companies will jointly develop advanced
long-term evolution (LTE) femtocells and other small cell dual mode
3G/LTE solutions. The collaboration combines Mindspeed®’s
carrier-grade Transcede® System-on-Chip (SoC) baseband processor
solutions with Contela’s development expertise. Contela has already
developed 3G femtocells that are widely deployed in carrier
networks and is now enhancing its wireless products with LTE and
dual-mode small cell products.
Mindspeed's Transcede family of processors include complete
NodeB and eNodeB SoC solutions that perform concurrent 3G and LTE
processing in a single device, including time division synchronous
code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), wideband code division
multiple access (WCDMA)/high-speed packet access (HSPA+) and both
frequency division duplexing LTE (FDD-LTE) and TD-LTE. The recently
announced Transcede T22xx series targets residential and small
enterprise applications, while the T33xx series is focused on
enterprise, metro and pico base stations. These products combine
Mindspeed’s strength in LTE with Picochip’s leadership in carrier
grade 3G.
“As a developer of home femtocell solutions for 3G mobile
networks, Contela believes that next-generation networks and
applications will require LTE femtocells and other small cell base
stations,” said Jang An Kwon, chief marketing officer with Contela.
“The development of a broad portfolio of small cell products for
the different market demands is important to serve our operator
customers. Mindspeed’s dual mode T22xx /T33xx SoC baseband
processor products deliver multi-standard operation with
carrier-grade performance, and are the ideal solution for building
our family of products.”
“Mindspeed is delighted that our Transcede SoCs have been chosen
by Contela for the company’s next-generation femtocells and other
small cell products,” said Dr. Naser Adas, vice president and
general manager, wireless and customer premises equipment (CPE) at
Mindspeed. “We have been impressed by Contela’s commitment and
expertise in developing small cells. Both companies believe in the
huge opportunity of this market and we look forward to a successful
collaboration with them.”
Mindspeed has the most complete portfolio of SoCs in the
industry, ranging from cost-effective residential 3G only, through
the new T22xx and T33xx up to the micro/macro class. All Transcede
family devices are supported by a complete, carrier-class software
reference design to accelerate time-to-market schedules.
Mindspeed’s Transcede reference design includes RF module
integration, a real-time Linux board support package, and
standard-compliant physical-layer (PHY) implementation for LTE and
W-CDMA and TD-SCDMA, with associated utilities and test
scripts.
