(Reporting by Frank Tang; Editing by Lisa Shumaker) Currencies Currencies. New picoXcellTM Release 7 enterprise femtocell SoC supports 64QAM, joinsindustry leader`s range of integrated hardware and software solutionsBATH, England–(Business Wire)–picoChip has launched the picoXcell PC312 HSPA+ femtocell system-on-chip (SoC),the industry`s first such device to support eight users, with simultaneous voiceand data services. Offering 64QAM modulation and 3GPP Release 7 features forhigh-speed communication, the device is the newest addition to the picoXcellPC3xx family of single-chip femtocells launched in 2008. All are fullypin-compatible and offer customers a seamless migration path.
The picoXcell PC312 serves the rapidly emerging market for higher capacityfemtocells for enterprise use. It is pin-compatible with the existing four-userpicoXcell PC302 device. This feature, allied with low power consumption thateliminates the need for a heatsink, allows manufacturers to develop a range ofresidential and enterprise products that offer low cost, low power, small sizeand high performance. The new device builds on picoChip`s robust and field-proven modems, includingthe existing PC8219 eight-user solution, launched earlier this year with thebacking of two major players in the femtocell market. “At ip.access we are dedicated to solving in-building access problems for mobileoperators,” said Steve Mallinson, CEO of ip.access.
“We are delighted to beworking with picoChip, the industry`s leading supplier of femtocell silicon, oneight-user products that hit the sweet spot of enterprise needs.” The picoXcell PC312 builds on picoChip`s five years of femtocell experience thatincludes forty field trials for the company`s products with more than 20carriers. The company has already conducted extensive interoperability testingand developed a level of systems integration experience and knowledgeunparalleled in the semiconductor industry. The new device integrates addedfeatures such as security and timing, and satisfies the new functionalityrequirements of 3GPP Release 8 for a Home NodeB. The PC312 supports the FemtoForum standard FRMI interface, and includes a glueless interface to many radios,including those from Maxim, ADI, Lime Microsystems and Bitwave, among others. “picoChip has carrier class products, systems expertise and a five yearinvestment in understanding the needs of the femtocell market,” said Nigel Toon,president and CEO of picoChip. “These unique assets form a firm foundation as wecontinue to develop picoXcell, the industry`s most comprehensive range offemtocell solutions, of which the PC312 is a key member.” The picoXcell PC312 can support up to 21Mbit/s HSDPA together with 5.7Mbps HSUPAon a single chip. The device is a low power, low cost complete femtocellsolution with integrated PHY, RNC stack, synchronization, network listen andRadio Resource Management solutions.
