QUALCOMM Incorporatedhas launched its infrastructure reference design for Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) networks. Based on the company’s OFDMA Cell Site Modem CSM8900, and technologies from leading component and software providers, the base station reference design is intended to help enable OEMs reduce their development costs and quickly commercialize new UMB infrastructure products.
QUALCOMM’s UMB reference design provides a well architected, flexible solution for the physical layer (Layer 1), as well as for Layers 2 and 3, giving vendors the ability to accelerate their next generation development efforts. Using this design, both large and small OEMs are able to leverage QUALCOMM’s extensive R&D experience with OFDMA-based technologies, reducing typical barriers to market entry. The reference design employs QUALCOMM’s CSM8900 to provide physical layer functions. The resulting UMB reference design supports a flat, all-IP network architecture.
