Mindspeed
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), the industry leader in
technology for small cell base stations, and Bravo
Tech Inc. (BTI), a worldwide provider of wireless coverage
solutions and a pioneer in femtocell solutions, today announced that the
companies will be showcasing a live time division synchronous code
division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) femtocell demonstration at
Mindspeed's booth (N1.D63)
at Mobile
Asia Expo from June 20-22, 2012 at the Shanghai New International
Expo Centre in Shanghai, China.
The collaboration highlights BTI's commercially-available TD-SCDMA
/Wi-Fi access point, which features Mindspeed®'s ARM®-based PC202
system-on-chip (SoC). Representatives from each company will be on-hand
to showcase commercial smartphones sending and receiving voice, video
and data communications via a production-grade femto gateway in China
Mobile's 3G network. Mobile Asia Expo delegates visiting the
Mindspeed booth can also use their own TD-SCDMA handsets to try out the
BTI femtocell for voice calls and mobile web access.
"Mindspeed is delighted that our SoCs are powering BTI's innovative
small cell solutions for the Chinese market,” said Dr. Huan-yu Su, vice
president of business development for the wireless business unit at
Mindspeed. "BTI is a pioneer in the Chinese femtocell market and we look
forward to further collaborations with them in Asia and around the
world. We are very pleased to host a public femtocell demonstration for
service providers, customers, press and analysts at this year's show."
"Our initial 2012 rollout of femtocells for the Chinese market has been
a tremendous success," said Dong Wu, chief technology officer at BTI.
"Mindspeed’s SoC processor family delivers multi-standard operation with
carrier-grade performance, which has allowed us to get to market quickly
with a full-featured femtocell that addresses the specific demands of
TD-SCDMA customers."
Mindspeed's Transcede®
family of processors are complete NodeB and eNodeB SoC solutions that
support concurrent 3G and LTE processing, including TD-SCDMA, wideband
code division multiple access (W-CDMA), evolved high-speed packet access
(HSPA+) and both frequency division duplexing LTE (FDD-LTE) and time-division
duplex 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 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 has the most complete portfolio of small cell SoCs in the
industry, from residential to enterprise to pico/metro applications. 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 PHY implementation for LTE and
W-CDMA and TD-SCDMA, with associated utilities and test scripts.
