Modem-Art Advances 3G Market With Its MA1000 W-CDMA Programmable
Baseband Processor
February 13, 2003
Modem-Art today announced their novel W-CDMA programmable baseband
processor - the MA1000. This advanced W-CDMA programmable baseband
processor fulfills emerging industry demand by enabling terminal
manufacturers to rapidly upgrade their existing GSM/GPRS terminal
designs to support multi-mode UMTS/GSM/GPRS. The MA1000 will facilitate
manufacturers wishing to enter the 3G market while preserving their
extensive investment in testing and certification processes for
their popular GSM/GPRS designs. The MA1000 processor can serve as
a 3G W-CDMA add-on to their legacy terminal design.
The MA1000 product is built around the PME (Programmable Modem
Engine), Modem-Art’s core technology. The PME is a powerful physical
layer processor optimized for W-CDMA modem implementation. The PME’s
multiprocessing architecture enables a rapid realization of 3GPP
standard releases. As the 3GPP standard evolves, future updates
by software upgrades of the MA1000 displace the need for hardware
modifications. This reduces time to market and improves reliability
of MA1000 based handsets. The MA1000, today, offers the most advanced
features of the 3GPP standard and is fully compliant with 384 kbps
class of Release 99 and Release 4. The result is a baseband processor
with rich system functionality, high level of programmability, flexibility
and low-power consumption that facilitates a smooth transition to
commercial 3G terminals.
"The availability of Modem-Art MA1000 programmable baseband processor
will accelerate the introduction of new 3G W-CDMA handsets” comments
Dr. Yossi Kofman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Modem-Art. “The combination
of a feature rich software solution, which supports Release 4, and
the MA1000’s low power consumption enables handset manufacturers
to progress from the current prototyping stage to a more rapid introduction
of commercial 3G handsets.”
The MA1000 has been integrated with Philips GSM/GPRS baseband processor
and multi-mode UMTS/GSM/GPRS RF circuitry. Modem-Art provides its
customers with a complete solution, including: the MA1000 chip,
evaluation boards, software development and testing tools, and integration
of 3G protocol stack software. 3G multi-mode handset reference design
will be made available later this year.
