Broadcom Announces Advanced Development Platform for Small Cell Base Stations
Published on:
Broadcom has announced a scalable small cell development platform for multiple radio access technology (RAT). The platform integrates all the hardware and software components required to accelerate the development and deployment time of small cell base stations.
Broadcom's scalable small cell development platform simultaneously supports 3G, LTE and Wi-Fi offload capabilities for greater than 200 users in response to the emerging trend toward high-capacity Multiple Radio Access Technology (multi-RAT) networks.
The platform's modular design and integrated hardware components is designed to allow OEMs to design small cell base stations optimized for a range of deployment options, while a pre-integrated software ecosystem enables OEMs to ensure faster time-to-market and lower design costs.
The platform is the first to combine the state-of-the-art XLP-208 multicore processor, which was engineered by NetLogic, acquired by Broadcom in February 2012. It is now integrated with Broadcom's radio solutions.
The software included in the platform enables new features such as content caching, interference monitoring, self-organizing networks (SON), DPI-based services and security to be deployed while maintaining line speed performance.
Broadcom's small cell base station development platform is currently sampling and is slated for volume production in Q2 2013.
