picoChip showcases femtocells,
WiMAX and LTE at MWC ‘09

At MWC ’09 picoChip will reveal the reality of two of the hottest technologies in today’s communications industry; femtocells and LTE. Our stand (1D56 in Hall 1) will feature demonstrations of our multi-standard reference platforms and system-on-chip solutions, including live video streaming via LTE.

As a committed member of the Femto Forum, we are also participating actively in the FemtoZone, a central point of information at MWC ’09 for all things femtocell. The FemtoZone will feature public presentations from operators and vendors; picoChip’s VP of Marketing Rupert Baines is amongst the presenters, and will share details of picoChip’s latest advances in integrating femtocells with the wider network.

Femto Forum study: interference not a barrier to deployment

A recent study by the Femto Forum has concluded that interference between the macro and femto networks need not be a barrier to femtocell deployment. The study – to which picoChip was an active contributor – identified a number of technologies that can mitigate interference, and found that femtocells can deliver an order of magnitude more capacity than the macro network alone in dense deployments.

Ubiquisys and picoChip extend femtocell collaboration

Ubiquisys and picoChip have extended their five-year working relationship with the announcement that they are collaborating to integrate the picoChip PC302 femtocell SoC into the next generation of Ubiquisys ZoneGate femtocells.

Current ZoneGate femtocells use picoChip’s PC202 processor: the PC302 is a “hardened”, cost-optimized version of this proven design that also supports advanced capabilities such as self-organizing networks.
