MIPS Technologies and SySDSoft Partner to Enable LTE on MIPS(R) Architecture
10 February 2010 - 5:00PM
Mobile World Congress -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a
leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and
cores, and SySDSoft Inc., a leading supplier of Mobile WiMAX and
LTE embedded software solutions for 4G, today announced they are
teaming to enable LTE on the MIPS® architecture. As a new member of
the MIPS Alliance Program, SySDSoft is working closely with MIPS
Technologies to provide an optimized MIPS32® LTE protocol stack
that MIPS licensees can leverage across the entire range of MIPS
processor cores. SySDSoft will initially port its proven stack to a
MIPS32 24K® processor core, and will share initial results of the
collaboration at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
MIPS Technologies already has multiple licensees in the LTE and
WiMAX area, with a number of WiMAX chipsets and upcoming LTE
handset and basestation designs in the market. The work between
MIPS Technologies and SySDSoft complements the work that many MIPS
licensees are already doing in these areas by providing fully
tested, proven MAC and PHY software designs to help speed time to
market. There will be several MIPS-Based™ WiMAX and LTE
demonstrations during Mobile World Congress.
"SySDSoft is widely recognized for the quality of its software
solutions, so it makes sense for us to partner with them as we make
deeper inroads into the mobile market," said Art Swift, vice
president of marketing, MIPS Technologies. "With the global
transition to 4G, the high bandwidth standards are very similar to
wireless technologies where MIPS Technologies has a strong
presence. We are excited to leverage this trend and enable our
customers to get to market quickly with proven mobile
solutions."
"We are pleased to work with MIPS Technologies to make 4G
telephony a reality for MIPS licensees," said Khaled Ismail, CEO,
SySDSoft. "With our mobile WiMAX and LTE stacks, SySDSoft is
uniquely positioned among 4G stack offerings. Our stacks provide
processing efficiency, support of very high data rates, and offer
many differentiating features for baseband chipset makers.
Leveraging our technology, we are confident that benchmarks will
show the benefits of the MIPS architecture in terms of data
compression, performance and channel utilization for 4G."
