NEC picks Altera’s 28 nm FPGAs to compete in LTE basestation market
Altera Stratix® V and Cyclone® V FPGAs drive the complex algorithms that allow NEC’s LTE base station infrastructure offering to improve operators’ data performance while lowering investment and operation cost of the network.
"Wireless providers moving to LTE continue to seek ways to more efficiently deploy and manage their networks," said Mr. Nozomu Watanabe, General Manager, Mobile RAN Division, NEC. "Altera’s 28 nm portfolio will enable us to innovate our base station architecture which operators can use to provide superior services to users while reducing capital costs and operating costs."
Altera’s 28 nm FPGAs provide the flexibility and performance needed to implement the various LTE system level features of the next-generation base station without sacrificing power efficiency.
"The rapid growth in mobile devices and mobile services creates large demand for next-generation base stations to support the associated higher bandwidth needs, better signal coverage, and monetization of the services to users," said Scott Bibaud, SVP and General Manager of Altera’s Communications and Broadcast division. "Our 28 nm FPGA families deliver the processing bandwidth and flexibility required to enable wireless providers to provide the features, differentiation, and performance required of their LTE systems."
