We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Basestation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Basestation processors sport 16 virtual CPUs from
Raza Microelectronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "First multicore multithreaded processor with integrated support for Serial RapidIO interface as well as for IEEE1588 precision timing protocol controller".
The day before,
we featured the news release Toolset ensures WiMAX compliance from
Anite Telecoms: "Anite's Protocol Conformance Toolset (PCT) is the only protocol test solution approved by the WiMAX Forum for the certification of Fixed WiMAX devices".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Qualcomm
concerning its MDM9xxx-series LTE device chipsets
- take a look at Chipsets upgrade for the long term
which says: "Multimode Mobile Data Modem chipsets deliver significant flexibility to the industry by supporting LTE, as well as other 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards".
Take a look also at the news release from picoChip Designs, Reference designs cover Long Term Evolution,
as well as Mixer claims top performance from 815 to 1000MHz from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Coaxial cables cut insertion loss from Habia Cable.
