Altair Semiconductor, a developer of ultra-low power,
small footprint 4G LTE chipsets, announced that China’s Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology (MIIT) has approved its dual mode FourGee-3100/6200
TDD/FDD-LTE chipset for use in LTE networks in China.
MIIT’s approval of Altair’s chipsets is based both in
internal testing it conducted as well as on the results of extensive
interoperability and field performance trials that Altair held with China
Mobile over the last year.
Altair is one of the only TDD/FDD-LTE chipset vendors qualified by the Chinese
regulator, providing significant benefits above competing technologies by
allowing subscriber devices to operate equally efficiently both in China, which
is based on a TDD-LTE scheme, as well as in FDD-LTE-based markets, such as the
U.S. and Europe.
This is an exciting development for the market, as our
TDD/FDD-LTE capable technology enables commercial devices to function equally
effectively on China Mobile’s network as well as on networks around the world,”
said Eran Eshed, co-founder and VP of Marketing and Business Development at
Altair Semiconductor.
“Having already established leadership positions in
numerous other Asia-Pacific countries, we look forward to extending our
footprint in the Chinese market and to building on our partnership with China
Mobile,” Eshed added.
Altair’s FourGee-3100/6200 is a 3GPP LTE chipset that
supports LTE throughputs of 100Mbps/50Mbps DL/UL respectively. The chipset implements
a 20MHz MIMO receiver and is based on a proprietary O²P Software Defined Radio
processor which offers performance which significantly exceeds traditional
communications DSP cores, yet consumes a fraction of the power.
The FourGee-3100/6200 supports both FDD and TDD variants
using asingle software, and covers any LTE frequency band in the range between
700-2700MHz. The combined chipset offers terminal manufacturers a true global
solution.
Altair Semiconductor recently announced
that its TD-LTE chipset, integrated in a commercial USB dongle, achieved
download speeds of more than 100Mbps in a live over-the-air demonstration.
