Cell Site Modem
Supporting the WCDMA mode for the UMTS system, the solution is based on the proven, commercially available CSM family of products. The chip includes tested and tuned diagnostic tools and methods used for product design with the CSM5000 chip, and its Application Programming Interface (API) has the same structure as the CSM5000 API. The solution leverages tested CSM5000 software, including ARM-based uplink channel processing, messaging interfaces, and simulation and development environment -- all of which facilitate the development of more reliable and highly integrated WCDMA base stations.
The chip features:
Two Megabit per second (Mbps) data throughput
Six-sector support, with 12 uplink antenna inputs and 12 downlink antenna outputs
Support for 16 simultaneous data or voice users
Integrated ARM-7(TM) processor -- performs low-level physical layer tasks
Standard 66 Megahertz (MHz) Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface to simplify device integration
