Texas Instruments Incorporated has unveiled the TMS320TCI6612 and TMS320TCI6614 System-on-Chips (SoCs) for developers of metro, pico and enterprise small cell base stations. TI's new small cell SoCs are enabled with production ready software and are the highest performing devices available for small cells.
Based on TI's innovative KeyStone multicore architecture, these scalable SoCs encompass a mix of processing elements including radio accelerators, network and security coprocessors, combined fixed- and floating-point digital signal processors (DSPs) and an ARM RISC processor, providing the ideal foundation for layers 1, 2 and 3 and transport processing for high- performance small cell base stations.
"Intelligent small cells are the future of public-space mobile data, but their self-organizing capabilities and high traffic environments place huge demands on processing power," said Chris Gilbert, CEO, Ubiquisys. "TI's small cell solution combines dual-mode 3G/LTE flexibility with massive processing power, and harnesses their unparalleled expertise in powering macro networks. We found a true roadmap partner in TI, not just a silicon vendor."
