HOD HASHARON, Israel, December 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's leading developer
of ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance 4G LTE
[http://altair-semi.com/product/fourgee-3800-6300 ] chipsets, today announced that its
FourGee-3800/6300 Category 4 chipset has successfully achieved Verizon Wireless chipset
certification. The certification accelerates time to market for Altair customers
integrating the chipset into their devices by significantly reducing the amount of testing
required pre-launch.
The FourGee-3800/6300 is the successor of the Category 3 FourGee-3100/6200 chipset,
which shipped in millions of devices to date, including the Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet, the
HP Chromebook 11" LTE, and the ASUS Chromebook 13.3" LTE.
"This Verizon Wireless certification of our newest chipset is an important milestone
in our market expansion strategy," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and Vice President of
Marketing and Business Development at Altair Semiconductor. "It provides our existing
customers a smooth migration path to faster and more advanced LTE technology, maintaining
the level of maturity and ease of integration they are accustomed to."
Altair's FourGee-3800/6300 chipset features state of the art modem performance with
download speeds of 150Mbps and upload speeds of 50Mbps, and supports advanced features
such as VoLTE and eMBMS. The chipset is already designed into multiple modules and end
user devices and is deployed commercially in leading carrier markets.
Verizon Wireless operates the world's largest 4G LTE wireless network, available in
more than 500 U.S. markets. It is the latest carrier to certify this chipset, joining
leading carriers in Japan, Europe, India, and other key markets.
