Texas Instruments Incorporated introduces a pico basestation product that combines a DSP, optimized baseband software and development tools. By using this 1 GHz TMS320TCI6482, and optimized W-CDMA software libraries, infrastructure OEMs can design a compact baseband solution, thereby reducing the overall cost of a pico basestation solution. For example, a pico basestation supporting 32 simultaneous users can be implemented with two TCI6482 DSPs, compared to previous solutions that were more complex. These small basestations can be deployed in environments such as college campuses, subways, airports and office buildings. OEMs can realize a high channel density solution with the TMS320TCI6482 because it can efficiently support the complex needs of W-CDMA baseband processing including symbol rate, chip rate and parts of the medium access control (MAC) layer functionality. The TCI6482 DSP also supports the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) channels that are defined as part of Release 6 of the 3GPP W-CDMA standard.
