Proven silicon and software solutions to converge within a common
architecture enabling next-generation mobile networks BARCELONA,
Spain, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GSMA MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS
-- LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today announced an innovative
blueprint for an asymmetrical multicore architecture targeted at
mobile networks based on the company's proven family of networking
silicon and software. LSI offers the industry's most complete
portfolio of communication, media, baseband, multi-service, content
and security processors. Building upon this portfolio, the new
blueprint calls for LSI to migrate current and future wireless
products to a multicore architecture that encompasses traffic
management, voice and video transcoding, content inspection,
encryption, baseband and user plane processing. "The rapid growth
of video services has begun to seriously impact any-to-any wireless
network infrastructure performance," said Godfrey Chua, research
manager, Wireless and Mobile Infrastructure, IDC. "A unified
architecture is a sensible solution that will allow OEMs to build
faster, more functional systems in less time, at lower cost and at
significantly lower risk." Today, wireless equipment manufacturers
are routinely faced with having to integrate proprietary components
from multiple sources due to a lack of multicore solutions.
Similarly, service providers constructing next-generation
any-to-any wireless networks need a new generation of highly
integrated yet proven silicon and software building blocks. To
address these challenges, LSI has created a blueprint for an
asymmetrical multicore architecture specifically designed for
mobile network applications such as multi-standard radio and
single-chip wireless base stations. Asymmetrical multicore
architectures allow multiple cores to be aggregated on a single
chip, and for those cores to vary depending upon application and
network environment. This approach improves system and power
efficiency by ensuring mobile service workloads are processed by
function-optimized cores. This unique, programmable and scalable
architecture will enable rapid development of mobile networks with
the capacity to handle real-time traffic growth while lowering
system and operational costs. "Wireless service providers are faced
with an avalanche of new services, rapidly evolving standards and
bandwidth upgrades, compounded by intense pressure to contain CapEx
and OpEx budgets," said Charlie Kawwas, vice president of
marketing, Networking Components Division, LSI. "Our multicore
architecture for mobile networks will deliver a proven,
programmable and scalable solution that future-proofs network
investments and enables the delivery of cost-effective any-to-any
services." The LSI portfolio of solutions for mobile access,
transport, media gateway and data center market segments includes
communication and media processors, echo cancellation software,
voice and video codecs, multi-service processors and
high-performance content inspection processors. New products will
be compatible with current portfolio solutions, allowing OEMs to
quickly migrate to the new architecture while protecting previous
investments. Additional information about the LSI multicore
architecture can be found on the LSI website at

infrastructure for mobile access, transport, media gateway and data
center applications in stand AV53 at the GSMA Mobile World Congress
in Barcelona, Spain, February 16 to 19. The LSI stand is located in
the Avenue Pavilion near Hall 8 of the exhibition. About LSI LSI
