Texas Instruments and Xinwei Accelerate Broadband Voice and Data Coverage to Millions of Chinese Households
(Business News, 17 Jul 2008 )
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) and Beijing Xinwei Telecom Technology Co., Ltd. have announced that its next generation McWiLL/SCDMA macro base stations will enable millions of Chinese households to receive voice and data traffic at exceptional speeds, while lowering the cost of deployment for the country痴 service providers. By leveraging TI痴 3GHz, powerful multicore DSPs, optimized software and analog signal chain components, Xinwei can not only meet the aggressive deployment schedules leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics but also offer a migration path to Beyond3G, including TD-LTE.
According to ABI Research analyst Serene Fong, there will be approximately 103 million wireless broadband households in China by 2010, a 14% CAGR growth from 2007. Many of these households clearly benefit from these broadband wireless advancements. SCDMA, and its off-shoot McWiLL (Multicarrier Wireless Information Local Loop), are optimized to deliver high-speed, bandwidth-intensive applications. SCDMA/McWiLL incorporates advanced technologies including smart antenna, software radio, CS-OFDMA, dynamic channel allocation, adaptive modulation, QoS/GoS, and enhanced spatial nulling technology. Such state of the art technologies, integrated in a synergetic way, enable the McWiLL system to have significantly large coverage, higher data throughput, and more efficient combination of broadband and narrowband applications than its competitions. More importantly, further surpassing its popular alternatives, the McWiLL system powered by smart antennas and dynamic channel allocation technologies, can support N=1X1 deployment and can allow an operator to deploy a large wide-area-network with one frequency band of 5MHz. The superb performance comes from sophisticated implementation of the aforementioned advanced technologies, 睦equiring very high performance processing while maintaining a low power budget.
Xinwei痴 next generation macro base stations will deploy TI痴 multicore 3GHz-performing TMS320TCI6487 processor. With three cores running at 1 GHz each, this wireless infrastructure baseband product enables base station manufacturers to extend their existing designs while entering into new markets, requiring small form factor applications with an exceptional scaleable, flexible solution.
