picoChip's eight-user HSPA femtocell solution PC8219 announced its release

picoChip has announced the launch of the complete eight-user WCDMA femtocell baseband solution PC8219, which runs on its PC202 processor chip. The two leading customers of picoChip are key development partners for this product.

The PC8219 is a fully-available eight-user femtocell baseband that complies with the HSUPA specification of 3GPP Release 6 and supports the various new femtocell proprietary features in Release 8. picoChip's field-proven software is constantly being tested in years of femtocell development, and new solutions based on this ensure that users can quickly and robustly produce carrier-grade, enterprise-based femtocells using their existing hardware platforms. Market products.

"Many network operators have seen potential opportunities to offer extended services to commercial customers, so the deployment of eight-user femtocells is becoming their best choice," said Nigel Toon, president and CEO of picoChip. "By combining greater capacity with the low cost and ease of installation of femtocells, we believe we can assist OEMs to meet this growing market."

This new design extends picoChip's field-proven, based on its programmable picoArray? A software reference design product line for processor arrays. This flexible approach allows OEMs to take the lead in designing their products and create solutions that can be optimized and field-proven; they can then be “cured” to on-chip system platforms where both cost and quantity are met. The company provides solutions for all major 3G standards and WiMAX, and has recently demonstrated the industry's first LTE reference designs.

The PC8219 ensures high-speed data, voice and multimedia services, efficiently providing a set of eight-line PBX features for small businesses. It runs on a single PC202-10 picoArray device with a built-in ARM9 core, offering a cost-effective and fully programmable product that ensures rapid customization, optimization and upgrades. The solution is applicable to all backhaul architectures and most importantly to the new Iuh specification in 3GPP Release 8.
