Radisys Corporation and Mindspeed Technologies (News - Alert) have forged a relationship to combine Radisys’s wireless infrastructure technology with Mindspeed’s semiconductor solutions to form eNodeB. The new small cells reference design will debut at the LTE (News - Alert) World Summit in Barcelona.

Both companies announced that the new eNodeB would support the latest Trillium TOTALeNodeB software on the Mindspeed Transcede platform, continuing to expand the compatibility of System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms to work with LTE and 3G technologies. Traditionally, eNodeB is the element in E-UTRA of LTE that is the evolution of the element Node B in UTRA of UMTS. The technology allows for an all-in-one, easily deployable architecture – with one integrated packaging of internal antennas or external high-gain antenna components, radio frequency, and baseband. The eNodeB can easily accommodate the increased complexities for future next-generation technology.

“The Transcede T2200/3300 dual-mode processors are already sampling to customers. We have LTE running and are now porting over the industry-leading 3G baseband we acquired with Picochip,” said Dr. Naser Advas, vice president and general manager of wireless at Mindspeed. “For us, both LTE and 3G are already well-established and integrated with Radisys’ Trillium protocol stacks. We are now bringing them together onto one single platform. Given the field-proven maturity of both modes and the strong history between our two companies, we are confident that we will lead the industry in shipping carrier-class dual-mode solutions into operator deployments.”

Vice president and General Manager of Software Solutions Group at Radisys Amit Agarwal, said the collaboration between the two companies has been mutually beneficial for all of their clients.

“Our strong relationship with Mindspeed demonstrates our position as the go-to software provider for this ecosystem and emphasizes our dedication to delivering the high quality, high performance software our partners need,” said Agarwal. “Our commitment to ongoing support of the Mindspeed Transcede product line and focus on delivering joint, multi-mode products places our customers at the forefront of the market. At LTE World Summit we are showing a glimpse of the small cell solutions being deployed by our various customers and a view into the future of the innovative solutions expected as a result of this collaboration.”
