Hardware/software deal targets broadband
market
Coresonic and SySDSoft's partnership simplifies the choices for chip designers who have little wireless technology expertise.
Coresonic has reached a joint marketing agreement with SySDSoft, a provider of embedded software for the wireless broadband market, to promote and market each other's complementary technologies as complete packaged solutions to mobile device developers and manufacturers Rick Clucas, CEO of Coresonic, said, "The significance of this agreement is the benefit it provides to the many chip designers we are talking to who have little wireless technology expertise, because their focus may be on an unrelated area such as video; between our two companies, we'll provide a complete package comprising the world's most area and power-efficient next generation baseband processor with PHY firmware, MAC layer and protocol stacks, allowing an OEM or ODM to quickly integrate a WiMAX or other IEEE802.16-based system-on-chip into their product"

With a new type of processor architecture, Coresonic has developed a programmable baseband it reckons will revolutionise the communication industry.
Programmable baseband gains WiMAX personality
Personality pack provides complete IEEE802.16 functionality, from the RF interface through to the central processor interface.
"Customers can come to either company for this complete package, giving them a single contact point for support and development".
Khaled Ismail, President and founder of SySDSoft, said "In a market where the end-user demands battery-saving products but still require high-performance from their latest generation gadgets, we provide our OEM and ODM customers with an suitable solution to quickly get to market by incorporating our pre-packaged wireless solution".
SySDSoft designs state of the art baseband and RF/analogue circuits for the growing wireless broadband market, with a product portfolio covering a variety of technologies such as WiMAX, WiFi, Bluetooth and wireless USB.
Its IP cores can also be implemented in the latest generation of mobile WiMAX IEEE802.16-e/WiBro wave 2-compliant MAC for mobile devices.
Coresonic's LeoCore technology complements this with an architecture which is the most power and area-efficient licensable baseband processing technology available today, optimised for wireless multimode modems.
It allows system-on-chip designers to simply and rapidly add next generation modem capabilities to their designs, supporting 4G and multiple radio standards, including WiMAX, LTE, WiFi, UMB, DVB-T/H, ISDB-T, T-DMB, DAB+ and HD radio.
The initial focus of this collaborative effort is on producing a WiMax demonstrator and the companies intend to add WiFi and Bluetooth support to meet customer needs.
