Welcome to this latest issue of the Basestation Newsletter. I would like to thank all of you who contributed articles, news items or product information to this edition. |
We have been busy behind the scenes putting together the programme for the 3rd International Basestation Conference and our discussions with many of you suggest that the industry is particularly vibrant at this time. There is accelerated roll out of 3G and upgrades to higher speed services, growing take up of WiMAX for fixed and more recently mobile deployments, a rush of interest and jockeying for position in mobile broadcast solutions, and exciting new architectures and technologies emerging to support cost effective multi-element antenna (MIMO) solutions. We would encourage you to take a look at the draft programme and let us know how you can participate to make this conference the best yet. |

| Mobile TV and video may be a killer application, but how will it be delivered? (By Dr Mark Heath, Sound Partners Research) |
|
 |
TV is a powerful force in the consumer market, as demonstrated by levels of usage that are orders of magnitude higher than for mobile phones. As mobile operators attempt to identify compelling services beyond voice telephony, mobile TV may be a big part of their future success. more>> |
| Flexible Solution for Broadband OFDM PHYs (By Richard Thomas, Senior Design Engineer, Lattice Semiconductor UK Limited) |
|
 |
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing transceivers are widely used in wireless applications including 802.11 (“WiFi”), 802.16 (“WiMAX”), 802.20 (proposed PHY). Such transceivers have processing requirements which can become prohibitive if implemented on a DSP processor. more>> |
