The PC7300, a complete femtocell hardware reference design, is claimed to offer the lowest system cost and power consumption. Based on the company’s PC3xx picoXcell family of femtocell devices, this reference design cuts BOM costs to under $50 and requires less than 5 W total power. It is based on open industry standards, allowing developers to choose from a wide range of picoChip and third-party stack software offerings.
The PC7300 integrates all of the hardware required to implement a four- or eight-user residential femtocell, from antenna to backhaul. It includes the PCB and associated schematics and layout, populated with a picoXcell baseband processor, memory, RF circuitry and passive components. The board includes an external MII / Ethernet interface, and optionally features software GPS, integrated NTP, and software USIM. (Less than $50 — available now.)
