Altair Semiconductor Chipsets Selected by Harris Corporation For Use in Its LTE Terminal Product Line
Selection of Altair's LTE Technology for Harris' Commercial LTE Solutions Reinforces Company's Position as Leading Supplier of LTE Chipsets
HOD HASHARON, Israel, September 27, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Altair Semiconductor ( http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's
leading developer of ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance
4G LTE chipsets [http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ], today
announced that its chipsets have been selected by Harris Corporation, an
international communications and information technology company, for use in
its Public Safety LTE terminal products, including the recently announced
MBC-100. By maximizing the benefits of LTE, Altair's chipsets will allow
Harris to provide best-in-class LTE terminals to public safety customers.
Harris and Altair have been working closely for several months in the
design, IOT and trialing of terminals based on Altair chipsets. Harris
selected Altair's chipsets after an extensive benchmark and evaluation of
alternative solutions in the market.
"Our selection of Altair's chipsets highlights our commitment to
developing industry-leading public safety terminals by leveraging the
advancements of LTE technology," said Greg Henderson, director of Broadband
Products, Harris Corporation. "Harris has performed extensive testing and
trialing with Altair's technology, and recently announced the first in our
family of LTE products, the MBC-100, based on the Altair platform."
Harris' public safety and professional communications business is a
leading supplier of communications systems and equipment for public safety,
federal, utility, commercial and transportation markets - with products
ranging from the most advanced IP voice and data networks, to industry
leading multiband, multimode radios, to public safety-grade broadband voice,
video and data solutions. Harris has more than 80 years of experience in
public safety and professional communications and supports over 500 systems
around the world.
"We are pleased to be partnering with Harris Corporation in providing
their customers, especially public safety subscribers and first responders,
with the ability to fully benefit from the increased performance that
Altair's chipsets enable," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing
and Business Development at Altair Semiconductor. "We are excited to work
with Harris on introducing this product line to the market and we look
forward to building off of this partnership in the future."
Altair's FourGee-3100/6200 is a 3GPP LTE chipset that supports LTE
throughputs of 100Mbps/50Mbps DL/UL respectively. The chipset implements a
20MHz MIMO receiver and is based on a proprietary OsquaredP(TM) Software
Defined Radio (SDR) processor
[http://www.altair-semi.com/o2p-%E2%80%93-software-defined-radio-sdr-processor ]
which offers performance which significantly exceeds traditional
communications DSP cores, yet consumes a fraction of the power. The
FourGee-3100/6200 [http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ] supports
both FDD and TDD variants using single software, and covers any LTE
frequency band in the range between 700-2700MHz. The combined chipset offers
terminal manufacturers a true global solution.
