Posted by admin | Posted in 3G | Posted on 15-07-2009
3G, just like other types of technology, also comes in various kinds and
platforms. Depending on the model, the speed, capacity and overall feature
will also differ. Customers will have to pay more for very advanced
designs, complete with the important functions. Some of the top
manufacturers and investors have poured in a lot of effort and money just
to create the right components that will best suit consumers all over the
world.
On Freescale
Freescale features a wide range of platforms on the cellular level,
complete with components that will match the time-to-market and minimal
cost requirements of ODMs and OEMs. There is opening operating system
support which also includes S60, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Symbian and
Linux. One-core modem architecture applies software to isolate modem and
other applications on hardware that is shared. This significantly minimizes
sophistication and simplifies the software development and speed time to
market by around 6 months.
Features and Products
The world-class security in software and hardware for secure transactions
is also featured. Freescale also has low power style that incorporates
sophisticated techniques like dynamic voltage scaling, low leakage process
for optimum usage time and clock gating. There is reduced component
quantity for sleek, slim and modern styled handsets.
Some of the products available include the MXC300-30 and MXC275-30. The
300-30 is a lone core modem platform of 3G which is used mainly for EDGE,
GSM, GPRS, HSPA and UMTS/WCDMA. The MX275-30 is a 2.75 one-core modem
platform that is mainly used for EDGE Type 12, GSM and GPRS.
The Technologies
The MXC300-30 boasts of the MXC one-core modem architecture, the LTE that
will send desktop information rates to cellular tools and devices and the
HSPA for quick 3G speeds immediately. The MXC300-30 is the initial platform
that has the 3G single core modem. The single core processor located at the
center mixes the StarCore SC140e Digital Signal Processor or DSP that
functions at a maximum of 250 MHz and a processor core, ARM1136 that
functions up to 532 MHz. The single core modem manages all signalling
protocol layers L1, L2 and L3 for 3G, 2.5G and 2.75G standards, involving
the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), EDGE or Enhanced Data
for GSM, GPRS or General Packet Radio Service and WCDMA or wideband code
division multiple access.
Features
The device features the StarCore SC140 DSP with a speed maximizing at 250
MHz. It also has an ARM11 applications processor with a maximum speed of
532 MHz. Other features include Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and
WCDMA tri-band 850/1900/2100 MHz. HSDPA has 3.6 Mbps. There is also an
optimization for open operating systems such as Symbian and Linux,
excluding the addition of any accelerator or processor.
There is a single antenna interference that cancels the GMSK or Gaussian
minimum shift keying. Wireless connectivity features include the Bluetooth
interface support, wireless local area network or WLAN and Digital Video
Broadcasting-Handhelds or DVB-H interface support. The features are fairly
similar to others that are also sold in the same class.
The Device
You can learn more about other available powerful tools and devices on the
internet and by visiting telecommunications shops and service providers.
Find out more about the important features and how these can work well with
your lifestyle and occupation. Price will vary, depending on the included
features and tools.
