Business Wire
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD),
the industry leader in technology for small cell base
stations, today announced that the company’s Transcede®
wireless baseband processors are in the first long-term evolution
(LTE) femtocell from SK Telesys.
The Wi-Fi integrated LTE femtocells will be first deployed in
densely populated regions in South Korea, focusing primarily on the
commercial centers of major cities. The rollout will then be
expanded to areas with high data demand – i.e. indoor areas like
shopping centers, offices, houses and schools – based on an
analysis of LTE service usage patterns.
“We selected Mindspeed®’s LTE solution as the most robust and
most complete LTE small cell solution on the market,” said Dr.
Il-Hyun Sohn, director, at SK Telesys, “Small cells are critical to
the deployment of true mobile broadband. We evaluated many LTE
small cell solutions, but selected Mindspeed due to the proven
‘carrier-class’ quality of their technology.”
“Korea has one of the most sophisticated wireless markets in the
world and its early use of metro cells and public femtocells paves
the way for operators around the world,” said Dr. Naser Adas, vice
president and general manager, wireless and customer premises
equipment (CPE), at Mindspeed. “We are delighted that our Transcede
SoCs have been chosen by SK Telesys for the company’s
next-generation femtocells and other small cell products.
Mindspeed’s technology is being deployed in Korea for HSPA+ urban
femtocells and SK Telesys knew they could rely on our field-proven
LTE technology.”
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), W-CDMA/HSPA+ and both
frequency division duplexing LTE (FDD-LTE) and time division
duplexing LTE (TDD-LTE).
Mindspeed has the most complete portfolio of SoCs in the
industry, 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, W-CDMA and TD-SCDMA, with associated utilities and test
scripts.
