TI's processors to support femtocell software from Continuous Computing and mimoOn

Texas Instruments has selected Continuous Computing, and mimoOn GmbH as third parties to offer integrated solutions for HSPA and LTE enterprise and residential femtocells.

Continuous Computing's Trillium software, and mimoOn's mi!FemtoM advanced femtocell software, will be integrated onto TI's TMS320TCI6485 residential femtocell processor and TMS320TCI6489 enterprise femtocell processor in order to offer both single and multimode solutions for LTE, HSPA+, and HSPA.

"Continuous Computing has been aggressive in tailoring access point software and femtocell gateway solutions for traditional as well as non-traditional vendors," said Manish Singh, vice president of product line management. "Trillium femtocell software plus TI DSP femtocell processors equals a compelling combination for equipment manufacturers to participate in the exciting femtocell market. With Continuous Computing and TI, customers can have high confidence in performance, interoperability, portability, and support."

According to mimoOn's CEO, Thomas Kaiser, "This collaboration is significant in that TI brings its longstanding presence in the wireless base station market along with robust DSP processors, while mimoOn brings its legacy of MIMO algorithms, cognitive radio sniffers, and advanced schedulers, to offer innovative solutions for the key challenges in femtocells. This joint technology solution for single and multimode femtocells will be a strategic advantage for operators and OEMs that are looking to deploy femtocells in 2010 and beyond."

"Time-to-market and robust performance are key considerations for service providers and equipment manufacturers in successfully deploying femtocell products and services," said Kathy Brown, business manager for TI's wireless baseband infrastructure group. "The integration and testing of the standards-compliant HSPA and LTE software from Continuous Computing and mimoOn with TI's DSP programmable femtocell platform, achieves performance with the ability to differentiate, while offering a rapid vehicle to market.
