Freescale’s QorIQ Qonverge Macrocell Base Station-on-Chip Wins 2013 LTE Visionary Award
Mobility Tech Zone recognizes the LTE innovation of Freescale’s
industry-leading B4860 product
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Mobility
Tech Zone has named Freescale Semiconductor’s QorIQ Qonverge
B4860 macrocell system-on-chip as a recipient of the 2013 LTE Visionary
Award. The prize recognizes products that have advanced the state of LTE
technology during the previous year.
Mobility Tech Zone is the leading website dedicated to the mobile
broadband industry and is sponsored byTMC,
a global integrated media company, and Crossfire
Media, an integrated marketing company with a core focus on
technology.
“Freescale’s achievements in advancing 4G through LTE development are
impressive and, as such, the company was selected as a recipient of the Mobility
Tech Zone LTE Visionary Award,” said Carl Ford, co-founder and
community developer, Crossfire Media. “Freescale is a true
innovator and one to watch for the next evolution of solutions.”
Introduced last year, the QorIQ Qonverge B4860 macrocell system-on-chip
is engineered to help mobile operators accommodate rapid adoption of 4G
data-centric wireless devices, while reducing costs associated with 3G
deployments. The B4860 delivers optimal performance for macrocell base
station applications, utilizing Freescale’s intelligent integration
capabilities and advanced 28 nm process technology to deliver a
significant leap forward in computational capacity.
“The Mobility Tech Zone LTE Visionary Award reinforces
Freescale’s role as a proven and committed innovator in the wireless
infrastructure market,” said Tareq Bustami, vice president of product
management for Freescale’s Digital Networking business. “Freescale is
honored to receive this prestigious recognition and looks forward to
even more LTE milestones in 2013.”
The B4860 macrocell SoC integrates four dual-thread, 64-bit e6500 Power
Architecture® cores with AltiVec SIMD engines running at up
to 1.8 GHz. The e6500 core is ideal for Layer 2, control and transport
processing, and incorporates an enhanced version of the proven,
high-performance and widely adopted AltiVec vector processing unit,
which boosts performance for Layer 2 scheduling algorithms. The B4860
also integrates six high-performance SC3900 StarCore FVP cores running
at 1.2 GHz. Together, these technologies provide a balanced,
programmable architecture for all baseband digital processing layers for
next-generation base stations.
The B4860 macrocell system-on-chip is the flagship member of Freescale’s
QorIQ Qonverge portfolio of software-compatible base station-on-chip
products. The product family is built on a common architecture
integrating Power Architecture microprocessors, StarCore digital signal
processors and wireless acceleration technologies on a single chip. The
QorIQ Qonverge architecture is based on proven technologies deployed in
base stations of all sizes and supports software reuse, helping
customers extend the value of their R&D investments.
