Leading 4G chip provider, Beceem Communications, announced today the launch of its BCSx350 chip, the company’s sixth-generation WiMAX chip. It includes a patented “Twin-Turbo” dual transmit uplink technology, providing up to 6dB of performance gain compared to traditional Wave 2 uplink technology. It is the most advanced 4G-WiMAX platform ever designed.
“Performance and market leadership are the hallmarks of our 4G products,” said Lars Johnsson, vice president of marketing and business for Beceem Communications. “We continue to invest heavily in improving the performance of WiMAX networks and devices, and our new BCSx350 chip is by far the most capable 4G-WiMAX chip given its further increased uplink performance and continuously reduced power consumption.”
The new BCSx350 comes in two models – the BCSM350 for mobile/embedded devices and the BCS5350 for high-performance, low-cost CPE that simultaneously support data, voice, and WiFi in a single chip. It is expected to go into mass production Q2/2010.
