Octasic Inc., a developer of media processing and wireless solutions, has made available a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform for GSM, EDGE and EDGE Evolution Base Transceiver Station (BTS) applications. Vocallo BTS is the first product of Octasic's recently announced wireless program that uses its Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. True SDR capability plays a central role in the future of mobile communications systems. It enables system implementers to dynamically reconfigure and upgrade wireless systems purely on a software basis. This offers many benefits, including cost of ownership, ability to respond quickly to changing market dynamics, such as the introduction of EDGE Evolution, lower development costs, and a significant time-to-market advantage. The Vocallo BTS Digital Signal Processor (DSP) integrates a complete Layer 1 baseband for up to 12 GSM carriers or 6 EDGE carriers or any combination. All this is achieved in a 15 mm x 15 mm BGA consuming less than 1 W (or 80 mW per carrier). Vocallo BTS' impressive power density figure is a direct result of Opus, Octasic's asynchronous DSP core technology. Elimination of the clock tree also brings benefits in chip size, allowing Vocallo BTS to be priced very competitively on a per carrier basis.
