Altair Semiconductor's LTE Technology Qualified by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) for Use in LTE Networks in China
GUANGZHOU, China, September 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Altair One of Only MIIT Qualified Companies with a
Commercially-Available TDD and FDD Capable Chipset
Altair Semiconductor ( http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's
leading developer of ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance
4G LTE chipsets [http://altair-semi.com/3gpp-lte-chipsets ], announced today
that following rigorous testing conducted by China's Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology (MIIT), its dual mode FourGee-3100/6200
TDD/FDD-LTE chipset has been officially approved for use in LTE networks in
China.
MIIT's approval of Altair's chipsets is based both in internal testing
it conducted as well as on the results of extensive interoperability and
field performance trials that Altair held with China Mobile over the last
year.
Altair is one of the only TDD/FDD-LTE chipset vendors qualified by the
Chinese regulator, providing significant benefits above competing
technologies by allowing subscriber devices to operate equally efficiently
both in China, which is based on a TDD-LTE scheme, as well as in
FDD-LTE-based markets, such as the U.S. and Europe.
"This official stamp of approval from the Chinese regulatory authorities
follows more than a year of extensive testing conducted with MIIT and China
Mobile. While Altair is very excited to have successfully passed MIIT's
qualification testing, this is also an exciting development for the market,
as our TDD/FDD-LTE capable technology enables commercial devices to function
equally effectively on China Mobile's network as well as on networks around
the world," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing and Business
Development at Altair Semiconductor. "Having already established leadership
positions in numerous other Asia-Pacific countries, we look forward to
extending our footprint in the Chinese market and to building on our
partnership with China Mobile."
Altair's FourGee-3100/6200 is a 3GPP LTE chipset that supports LTE
throughputs of 100Mbps/50Mbps DL/UL respectively. The chipset implements a
20MHz MIMO receiver and is based on a proprietary OsquaredP(TM) Software
Defined Radio (SDR) processor which offers performance which significantly
exceeds traditional communications DSP cores, yet consumes a fraction of the
power. The FourGee-3100/6200 supports both FDD and TDD variants using a
single software, and covers any LTE frequency band in the range between
700-2700MHz. The combined chipset offers terminal manufacturers a true
global solution.
