Development Platform Eliminates Need for New Board Designs
Texas Instruments, Inc. announces its development platform for the recently ratified HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Plus) standard. Based on the wireless infrastructure-optimized, multicore TMS320TCI6488 digital signal processor, the platform offers updated WCDMA Receive Accelerator (RAC) software drivers and a reference platform, enabling base station manufacturers to design a single product spanning HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE (Long Term Evolution). Essentially, HSPA+ introduces the concept of a flat architecture for cellular infrastructure, making the base station into an IP router, connecting to the Internet with modern IP link layer technologies like Ethernet, and eliminating leased T1/E1 lines. It has data speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s on the downlink and 11 Mbit/s on the uplink.
