Altair Semiconductor Powers AVM's Next-Generation FRITZ!Box Series
HOD HASHARON, Israel, October 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
FRITZ!Box Partnership Enables Advanced Home Networking and Voice Service over LTE
Altair Semiconductor [http://www.altair-semi.com ], a leading developer of ultra-low
power, small footprint and high-performance 4G LTE chipsets
[http://altair-semi.com/products/fourgee-31006200 ], today announced that its FourGee
Technology will be used by Germany-based AVM GmbH to power the Company's newest LTE
products, the Fritz!Box 6810 and Fritz!Box 6842.
The new products, which are designed to support state-of-the art home networking and
voice telephony over LTE Wireless Broadband Connectivity, feature an Altair-based modem
that works in up to three LTE Frequency bands: the 800 MHz Digital Dividend band, and the
1800 and 2600 MHz FDD frequency bands.
"We are pleased to partner with Altair Semiconductor, a Company that has consistently
provided AVM with excellent LTE modem technology," said Peter Faxel, EVP of Products and
Technology at AVM. "Altair was able to supply us a perfect solution for our Internet
Access Devices (IADs) at an early stage, connecting the AVM IMS Voice Stack with today's
LTE-Voice and -Data Networks."
The modem is based on Altair's FourGee-3100/6200 chipset, which supports LTE
throughputs of 100Mbps/50Mbps on both FDD and TDD variants, using a single software
platform. The versatile chipset also covers any LTE frequency band between 700-2700MHz.
"AVM sets the highest standards in terms of product quality and performance and
demands first-rate solutions from its partners," said Eran Eshed Co-founder and VP
Marketing at Altair Semiconductor. "LTE Mobile Network Operators stand to greatly benefit
from supplying customers with the LTE Wireless Broadband Connectivity and Voice Services
that the feature-rich FRITZ!Box offers."
