Also, the OCT2224W is based on Octasic’s Opus2 asynchronous architecture. The low-power characteristics and high performance of the Opus DSP core allows the OCT2224W to perform LTE PHY and MAC for a 20-MHz 2x2 basestation at an unprecedented 3 W. The device is fully programmable through the Opus Studio integrated development environment.

Like the other OCT2200 devices, the OCT2224W incorporates a rich set of I/O interfaces and an optional ARM core. It provides an ideal platform for basestations of all sizes and for all air interfaces, including low-power basestations for rural areas, macro basestations, outdoor small-cell basestations, and indoor high-traffic and enterprise femtocells.

Octasic also provides PHY software libraries that offer standard compliant GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA+, and LTE functionality. The OCT2200 is a software-programmable platform that offers an easy migration path to future evolutions of Evolved EDGE, WiMAX 802.16m, and LTE Advanced.

The Octasic OCT2200 series DSP chips feature 24 DSP cores with an asynchronous architecture to boost speed and reduce power consumption. The OCT2224W, the wireless version of this series, is ideal for picocell and femtocell implementation.

The OCT2224W with its multi-standard PHY software libraries and the OCT2224M will be available later this year.
