Fabless semiconductor company DesignArt Networks has launched the DAN2400a system-on-chip (SoC) platform architecture that integrates high-capacity backhaul capability with standards-compliant WiMAX and LTE base station functionality, delivering zero-cost backhaul solutions.
The DAN2400 is an open WiMAX SoC platform, based on a software-centric, purpose-built multicore architecture, designed for high-performance, carrier-grade networks. The DAN2400 provides a complete single-chip PHY and MAC solution for mobile WiMAX base station designs, and integrates a powerful DSP controlling a six-channel smart antenna module, an embedded high-capacity network processor and several control plane CPUs to enable the most compact design architecture for any type of WiMAX base or relay station on the market.
