LSI delivers end-to-end wireless infrastructure solutions for mobile networks

To deliver end-to-end solutions for wireless systems LSI has updated its silicon portfolio of media, advanced communications, content processing, and link communication processing solutions for mobile networks.

As part of the new portfolio, LSI's asymmetric multicore solutions based on a unified architecture:

The Axxia Communication Processor family, featuring LSI Virtual Pipeline message-passing technology and Tarari deep packet inspection technology
StarPro SP2704 and SP2716 media and baseband processors, which can support more than 3,000 simultaneous gateway channels per device, enabling a single multi-radio access network
A new link communication processor (LCP) that allows network traffic to be easily and efficiently migrated from existing TDM networks to Ethernet and IP networks

"Last year, we developed a strategy to create a family of communications products based on a unified architecture that would serve as a cornerstone for continuous improvements in performance, lower power and cost," said Charlie Kawwas, vice president, Marketing, Networking Components Division, LSI. "This vision is now a reality, and LSI has become the premiere provider of end-to-end solutions for wireless systems developers."

"Network equipment providers must develop new products with 5 to 15 times the performance of existing systems to address the exponential growth in broadband traffic," said Mike Langlois, Telecom General Manager at Wind River. "The LSI Axxia Communication Processor is an innovative solution for coping with exponential traffic growth. When optimized with Wind River's VxWorks, carrier-grade Linux platforms and comprehensive family of tools, the end result is a turnkey hardware and software platform that network equipment providers can use to design, optimize and test powerful new wireless access and edge network elements."
