Wavesat is launching this month its Odyssey 9000 family of LTE chipsets with the first LTE chipset featuring CAT-3 performance (100 Mb/s downlink, 50 Mb/s uplink) for mobile devices, including USB dongles, data cards, mobile handsets and MIDs.
The Odyssey 9000 is a highly integrated system-on-chip with “industry-beating performance and power consumption, along with a highly flexible and programmable architecture” to easily adapt to LTE’s evolving requirements.
Wavesat’s multi-protocol architecture also allows the Odyssey 9000 to support other 4G technologies including Wimax and Japan’s XGP standard.
The Odyssey 9000 family of chipsets incorporates a unique hybrid architecture with a combination of highly efficient digital signal processors and hardware acceleration blocks, easily scaling to support CAT-4 (150 Mb/s downlink) devices.
