4M Wireless LTE stack enables another chipset

London, United Kingdom - 19 March 2009 – 4M Wireless has licensed its PS100 Long-Term Evolution (LTE) protocol stack software to a fabless semiconductor company developing a 4G multimode baseband chip for LTE handsets and devices. The 4M Wireless LTE protocol stack is designed to be compatible with legacy 2G/3G protocol stacks as well as WiMAX stacks. The fabless semiconductor company chose 4M Wireless based on its ability to meet rigorous customer requirements.

The fabless semiconductor company is already a leader in its field, is developing 4G multimode baseband chip for handsets and handheld devices and will have a completely integrated 4G solution later this year. It will incorporate the 4M Wireless LTE protocol stack with its physical layer to produce one of the world’s lowest-power and smallest silicon solutions while offering a complete 4G multimode reference design to consumer device manufacturers. The company will commence field testing of the cutting edge solution with top network infrastructure vendors later this year.

4M Wireless has been developing its PS100 LTE protocol stack since the start of the 3GPP Release 8 standardization process and is at the forefront of the new technology. The stack is already in use with companies developing LTE technology and is being tested with eNodeB vendors and conformance test equipment suppliers as well. The LTE stack is compliant to the Release 8 36.XXX series specifications from 3GPP and has been ported to a number of embedded platforms. The software is fully independent of operating system and hardware platforms, and it’s designed to have a low memory footprint and optimum processor utilization. To simplify integration and interoperability testing, the PS100 comes with a full set of test and debugging tools.

Mobile operators are aiming for early deployment of LTE capable networks and require wireless devices to execute their rollout. Hence baseband chip vendors are being forced to redouble their efforts. The 4M Wireless software is an ideal solution to accelerate their development plans while keeping costs down thus enabling the competitive advantage needed to enter the LTE market.

4M Wireless Ltd is a supplier of advanced software solutions for mobile communications. 4M Wireless leads the wireless sector in LTE protocol stack software for mobile devices and LTE protocol test solutions for base stations. The company’s advanced award winning software is currently being used by a variety of leading customers and partners.
