Wavesat launches OdysseyTM 8500

Wavesat has rolled out its OdysseyTM 8500 chipset that features a unique flexible, multimode 4G architecture that enables WiMAX Wave2, WiFi, XG-PHS and seamless migration to future 4G technologies such as LTE. Some of the benefits on offer include :-

• 4G -The chipset features Wavesat's 4G Engine, a unique programmable architecture enabling Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 and beyond, as well as WiFi, XG-PHS and future migration to 4G Broadband Wireless technologies such as LTE
• Power - A unique architecture based on multiple ultra low power DSPs maximizes power efficiency with the chip power consumption below 150 mW for mobile WiMAX MIMO solution in active receive mode, and less than 2 mW in idle mode
• Small - The integrated memory (DRAM) enables industry's smallest footprint suitable for development of highly integrated consumer devices. Product roadmap also includes a single chip combining baseband processor, radio and memory
• Speed - A customized PowerPC processor (up to 400 MHz) is embedded in the chipset enabling higher throughput and providing the power required for the WiMAX Wave 2 profile, including MIMO
• Complete Solution - The solution includes complete MAC and management software, as well as "ready-to-manufacture" reference designs, shortening customers' time to market
