Mindspeed to showcase LTE small cell base station advances

CTIA WIRELESS 2011, NEWPORT BEACH, USA: Mindspeed Technologies Inc., a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, announced that the company will be demonstrating next-generation long-term evolution (LTE) base station advances based on the company’s Transcede system-on-chip (SOC) solution at the International CTIA Wireless 2011 exhibition from March 22 through March 24, 2011, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

Mindspeed’s Transcede processor is the first fully-integrated commercially-available single SoC eNodeB solution offering 3GPP Release 8-compliant LTE Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3 processing with picocell performance. It enables OEMs to leverage the same software architecture and programming model across the entire family of Transcede processors, and to scale designs from femtocells and picocells to microcells and macrocells. Transcede supports multiple radio access network (RAN) technologies in a single device and provides the industry’s highest level of integration.

Mindspeed is working closely with key enabling technology vendors to facilitate the delivery of a complete solution to its customers. In collaboration with Interphase Corporation, Continuous Computing and Ixia, Mindspeed will host LTE picocell demonstrations for service providers, customers and analysts in booth #4874. Mindspeed will spotlight its Transcede 4000 processor as well as an LTE picocell transmitting high-definition (HD) video.
