Mindspeed and KT Collaborate for LTE Small Cell Solutions
February 28 2012 - 2:00AM
Business Wire
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), the industry
leader in technology for small cell base stations, today announced
that Korea Telecom (KT) has selected Mindspeed®’s Transcede® SoC
baseband processors for its long-term evolution (LTE) small cell
development. The collaboration will combine Mindspeed’s
carrier-grade Transcede SoC baseband processor solutions with KT's
development expertise to support the carrier’s migration to dual
mode (LTE and 3G) small cell base stations.
“Deploying carrier grade LTE small cell solutions with industry
leading performance is a key requirement for the KT LTE network
roll out plan, and the Mindspeed-based platform and roadmap
delivers this,” said Ann Chang-Yong, vice president at KT.
“Mindspeed’s dual mode T22xx /T33xx SoC baseband processor products
deliver multi-standard operation with carrier-grade performance,
and are the ideal solution for powering our small cell family of
products.”
Mindspeed's Transcede family of processors are complete NodeB
and eNodeB SoC solutions that support 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)/ evolved high speed packet access (HSPA+)
and both frequency division duplexing LTE (FDD-LTE) and time
division duplexing LTE (TDD-LTE), with a roadmap to LTE-Advanced
(LTE-A). Combining 3G and LTE processing capabilities into a single
chip is more cost effective for original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs), and the inclusion of a carrier-class physical-layer (PHY)
software solution for both 3G and LTE will accelerate time to
market, while simplifying development and reducing risk.
“Mindspeed is delighted that our Transcede platform has been
chosen by KT for their next-generation femtocell development
project," said Dr. Naser Adas, vice president and general manager,
wireless and customer premises equipment (CPE), at Mindspeed. “We
have been impressed by KT’s expertise and experience in LTE
Cloud-RAN small cell technology and look forward to supporting
their new product development efforts."
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. The
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.
Mobile World Congress 2012
Mindspeed will host demonstrations and meetings for customers,
partners, press and analysts at Mobile World Congress 2012 in booth
1E.57 at the Fira Montjuïc in Barcelona, Spain from February 27 to
March 1, 2012. The new products will be shown alongside the
industry’s broadest portfolio of small cell solutions, which
includes other members of Mindspeed’s award-winning Transcede
family, plus Picochip’s 3G portfolio.
