This expansion of the LSI networking ecosystem will:
- Allow wireless manufacturers to more quickly bring solutions to
market while minimizing product development costs
- Provide a consistent software framework that allows seamless
migration across the Axxia family, allowing solutions to scale from
small cells to super macro base stations
- Embed intelligence in base stations and wireless infrastructure
to identify traffic and deliver the right data at the right
time
"We established the LSI networking ecosystem several years ago
in anticipation of service providers' need for robust, combined
solutions as they race to deploy 4G wireless infrastructure
solutions," said Noy Kucuk, vice president of marketing, Networking
Components Division, LSI. "The mobile ecosystem provides a suite of
tools and solutions that work together to speed time to market and
deliver the performance and power benefits of the Axxia
family."
The mobile platform framework maximizes software reuse and
enables customers to optimize their investment choices by focusing
their scarce resources on highly differentiated solution
development. Customers benefit from the ability to simply deploy
solutions from ecosystem members. LSI and ecosystem partners work
together to pre-integrate solutions and drive interoperability.
"Leveraging software investments from small cells to macro base
stations will help speed the adoption of 4G networks at lower costs
for our customers," said Amit
Agarwal, vice president and general manager of software and
solutions, Radisys. "By combining the LSI Axxia platform with our
optimized Trillium wireless software, wireless OEMs can tackle the
scalability issues of all types of mobile infrastructure."
The Axxia platform combines the programmable flexibility of
general-purpose processors with the deterministic performance of
special-purpose accelerators from LSI to provide scalable and
customizable solutions for mobile infrastructure. Based on a
coherent multiprocessor interconnect and LSI Virtual Pipeline™
technology, Axxia processors can be tailored to unique OEM
requirements.
