SoCs, software create complete system-level femtocell solution

The picoXcell PC313 and PC323 HSPA+ femtocell SoC devices and an integrated suite of HSPA+ femtocell access point (FAP) software is offered as the industry’s most complete family of system-level femtocell solutions. The company also claims that these SoCs are the first to include 3GPP Release 8 features such as 42-Mbit/s downlink and 11-Mbit/s uplink data rates. These parts also include receive diversity and MIMO, which enables higher data rates.

The PC323 has been designed to accommodate up to 24 simultaneous users for enterprise, campus, rural and metro femtocell usage scenarios with a cell radius of up to 2 km. Two cascaded devices can be used to power systems with 48 users. The PC313 is an eight-user SoC solution designed for high-end residential and SME applications. Both the PC323 and PC313 incorporate a high-performance 600-MHz ARM11 subsystem.

The PC2200 FAP software stack delivers all of the software modules required to realize a complete 3GPP Home NodeB. It consists of six components: the PC2209 RNC Stack; the PC2252 Network Synchronization module; the PC2256 Security module; the PC2257 Operations and Maintenance module; the PC2258 Self-Organizing Network module; and the PC2259 Radio Resource Manager module.
