BARCELONA, SPAIN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Feb 13, 2006 --
3GSM Congress -- Wintegra Inc., a fabless
semiconductor company focused on the access infrastructure market, today
announced the general availability of the W-Series single chip
multi-protocol access processor for 3G infrastructure applications. At the
same time the company has announced an agreement with TD Tech (the joint
venture between Siemens and Huawei) of Beijing, China, under which it is
supplying W-Series devices for use in TD Tech's TD-SCDMA systems.
The W-Series devices provide a function-optimized, multi-protocol
processing element to meet the needs of 3GPP release 4, 5 and 6 Iub
transport interfaces in micro, macro and pico basestation (BTS) products.
These new devices utilize Wintegra's internal packet processing engines and
its proprietary hardware architecture, which features modified symmetric
multi-processors, to provide performance across a wide range of wireless
systems.
The W-Series is a single chip solution, integrating the interfaces required
for either end of the transport link, and connecting the BTS with the
Basestation Controller (BSC). On-chip time division multiplexed (TDM),
UTOPIA/POS, and Ethernet interfaces are all included, allowing direct
connection to any ATM, IMA or IP transport. The W-Series processors can
also support SDH/SONET channelized interfaces as required by the 3GPP
standards. With these on-chip interfaces, scalable performance, plus ease
of programming provided by WinPath, manufacturers have a new platform on
which they can design and develop OBSAI and CPRI compliant Node B designs.
Numerous manufacturers are already designing with Wintegra's WinPath access
processor family, which has now been extended with the introduction of
W-Series devices such as the Win717W6. These processors have been selected
by several of the leading equipment manufacturers in their latest designs
for 3G in Europe, the Far East, North America and South America. Wintegra
plans to continue the evolution of the WinPath roadmap, and to offer
solutions to cover the needs of CPRI and OBSAI based Node B designs, as
well as ATCA/AMC based RNC and MG equipment.
"Utilizing WinPath technology (especially the software provided from
Wintegra) has enabled TD-Tech to realize a complex, scalable design very
quickly," said Mr. Zhang Shaojing, R&D Director, TD Tech. "The breadth of
support provided by the WinPath devices, along with its associated datapath
software and API, has allowed us to meet the needs of our design as well as
providing us with a scalable platform to build standards compliant future
designs. The functionality provided by the WinPath W-Series matches our
needs very closely."
"The WinPath range of highly integrated Access Packet Processors gives us
an ideal platform to deliver the performance requirements and flexibility
of designs required in the Iub transport interface," added Dr. Xiao Lei,
Node B Project Leader, TD Tech.
About Wintegra's W-Series
The W-Series processors provide a mix of interfaces for all the necessary
on-chip Iub transport connectivity, 8 or 16 E1/T1 interfaces (through
external PHY), 1 or 2 multi-PHY UTOPIA/POS L2 ports, multiple 10/100/1000
Ethernets, and the ability to handle up to 84/63 T1/E1 (STM-1/OC-3)
channelized support.
