Mobile WiMAX Baseband Processor - The FourGee-2150

The FourGee-2150 is a mobile WiMAX baseband processor which implements full mobile WiMAX, Mobility System Profile Wave-2 MAC/PHY feature-set.  The processor is highly optimized for integration in handset and handheld devices, where battery time and form factor are critical factors.  The FourGee-2150 features ultra-low power consumption in both active and idle modes, extending even small capacity battery times to multi-hour figures even under intense bandwidth usage.  The processor embeds internal memory that enables it to support very high modem and packet performance without requiring additional dedicated system Flash or DRAM.  It connects to the host application processor through high-speed serial interfaces, without burdening the system cost and power budget with unnecessary interface silicon area and pins.

The FourGee-2150's architecture is based on a proprietary, cutting edge O²P Software Defined Radio (SDR) processor.  Using O²P, the FourGee-2150 offers OFDMA-related signal processing capabilities which significantly exceed traditional communications DSP cores, yet consumes a fraction of the power.

The FourGee-2150 supports various simultaneous use-cases, including WiMAX and Bluetooth®, WLAN, cellular and GPS that enable it to operate in multi-radio, multi-standard devices, such as smart phones and handheld consumer devices.

The FourGee-2150 is complemented by the FourGee-6150 RF transceiver to offer a complete 802.16e mobile WiMAX Wave-2 chipset solution.
