Texas Instruments Technology Deployed in China TD-SCDMA Node B
April 30, 2003
Supporting China's growing wireless market, Texas Instruments announced
shipments of its high performance TMS320C64x class DSPs into Siemens mobile's
Node B TD-SCDMA basestations. The 3G-based basestations are already in
field trials in China and deployments with Chinese operators are expected
to start at the end of 2003.
Market forecasts peg China as one of the fastest growing wireless markets
in the world, with over 200 million mobile phone users today. Siemens
and the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT) jointly
developed the TD-SCDMA standard to address the growing need for wide spectrum
bandwidth allocation.
In October of 2002, the Ministry of Information allocated 155 Mhz of
spectrum for use by TD-SCDMA as a newly adopted standard for 3G mobile
networks in China. The standard features flexible up and downlink data
rates peaking at 2Mbps, coverage up to 40km, and optimal spectral efficiency
through use of TDMA and synchronous CDMA technology. TD-SCDMA also preserves
carrier's investment in previous infrastructure by reusing the existing
GSM core network.
Utilizing the TMS320C6416 DSPs, the DSP designed for digital baseband
processing, TI helps to reduce costs for carriers by offering a smooth
migration from 2G to 3G said the company. This programmable DSP platform
allows basestations to be upgraded easily as standards change and evolve
further, and allowing customers like Siemens to build reliable and cost-effective
basestations.
"By using a software approach based on the TMS320C6416 together with
TI tools and service we were able to get to market fast, reduce cost and
have a key differentiator for our customers in the Chinese market," said
Klaus Maler, president, business segment TD-SCDMA within Siemens mobile
networks.
"Siemens and TI strongly believe in TD-SCDMA and collaboration on this
basestation underlines this belief and our partnership. China is the world's
biggest mobile telecom market and continues to grow faster than all other
markets," said Dave Shepard, general manager of TI's wireless infrastructure
products group.
