Continuous Computing and picoChip Partner for Integrated Femtocell Reference Solution Development

(Business News & Technology News, 15 Feb 2008)

Continuous Computing and picoChip are partnering to bring to market an integrated High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) femtocell software reference design. The joint femtocell solution will pre-integrate Continuous Computing's Trillium Femtocell protocol software with picoChip's PC8208 software and PC202 picoArray single-chip processor.

Continuous Computing's Trillium Femtocell 3G/4G Wireless protocol software, which features support for HSPA data rates and compliance with 3GPP specifications through Release 7, has been optimized for performance on the ARM processor in picoChip's PC202 processor and integrated with picoChip's physical layer embedded software to reduce the overall memory footprint. Trillium Femtocell protocol support also includes Trillium SIP and UMTS Generic Access Network (GAN) core network interface options, among others. The PC202 is a single-chip device, combining a high-performance ARM core running the Trillium stack and a powerful multi-core digital signal processing (DSP) fabric running picoChip's PC8208 baseband code.
