Texas Instruments Launches Development Platform for HSPA+ Standard

(Top News, 5 Feb 2008)

Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) has released a development platform for the recently ratified HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Plus) standard. Based on the wireless infrastructure-optimized, multicore TMS320TCI6488 digital signal processor (DSP), the platform offers updated WCDMA Receive Accelerator (RAC) software drivers and a reference platform. Now, basestation manufacturers can design a single product spanning HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE (Long Term Evolution), greatly reducing development costs.

TI's latest development platform enables customers to easily extend their solutions to include HSPA+. The platform also allows basestation manufacturers to develop systems that are software upgradeable from HSPA+ to LTE with the multi-core TCI6488 DSP.
