NetLogic Microsystems Introduces Bandwidth Digital Front End Processors
Type: News

NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a provider of semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, announced the availability of the OP6100 family of digital front-end (DFE) processors, which deliver 65MHz of occupied bandwidth, 145MHz of total bandwidth and 325MHz of pre-distortion bandwidth for next- generation 3G and 4G/LTE base stations, remote radio heads (RRUs) and distributed antenna systems (DAS).

According to a release, this represents over a 220 percent increase in bandwidth over competing available merchant DFE solutions, and at a fraction of the cost and power of FPGA-based solutions. In addition, the OP6100 DFE processor family supports multiple standards and multiple signals in the same bandwidth as well as full support over non-contiguous bands, and features NetLogic Microsystems' Intelligent Self-Adaptive DFE technology.
The exponential growth in mobile data traffic in the next decade, coupled with global spectrum scarcity, are forcing service providers and operators worldwide to push the limits on capacity and throughput for their limited spectrum, the Company said. NetLogic Microsystems' OP6100 DFE processor family enables high spectrum efficiency through the simultaneous processing of multiple signal channels per band, as well as the multi-protocol co-existence of 4G LTE, 3G and 2G standards.

"Leading service providers are seeking ultra-wideband and multi- standard, common-platform base stations for their next-generation LTE rollouts," said Behrooz Abdi, executive vice president at NetLogic Microsystems. "Our ability to push the envelope to achieve 65MHz occupied bandwidth and 145MHz of total bandwidth gives us tremendous competitive advantages in addressing these next- generation base station opportunities."
