The exponential growth in mobile data traffic in the next decade, coupled with global spectrum scarcity, is forcing service providers and operators to push the limits on capacity and throughput for their limited spectrum. This is in turn driving a need for next-generation base stations able to support dramatically wider bandwidth, significantly more signal channels and more protocols (2G/3G/4G) in each band. 3GPP’s Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard is meeting the need for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals.
According to Ismosys Applications Specialist Martin Cornish, LTE is creating very stringent demands that require the most innovative Remote Radio Head (RRH) and Active Antenna System (AAS) technologies: AceAxis Ltd.is setting the pace in RRH and AAS technology, offering solutions that support a wide frequency band and have multimode, multiband, multicarrier capabilities”, Cornish said “AceAxis solutions are being adopted by leading global telecommunications OEMs and service providers for their next-generation LTE services”.

Ismosys is Netlogic Microsystems' pan-European rep stockist: Its customer AceAxis Ltd has selected NetLogic's industry-leading digital front-end (DFE) processors to power its AceAxis' RRH and Active Antenna Systems (AAS) for LTE common-platform base stations:. “NetLogic’s best-in-class DFE processors are highly-differentiated and ideally suited to address AceAxis' and LTE’s challenging requirements”, continued Cornish. “They deliver unparalleled performance of up to 5x increase in signal bandwidth and up to 9x increase in instantaneous bandwidth over available competing solutions, which dramatically improves 3G/4G LTE data rates. In addition, NetLogic's breakthrough products enable the industry's highest spectrum efficiency through the simultaneous processing of multiple signal channels per frequency band, as well as the multi-mode co-existence of 4G LTE, 3G and 2G protocols”.

About AceAxis LTE RRH and AAS solutions
AceAxis' high-performance LTE RRH and AAS solutions feature multiband capability across the full spectrum of LTE bandwidth and come in 2x2, 4x4 and 8x8 configurations. AceAxis' RRHs support carrier bandwidths across all common frequency bands, and because these software definable platforms are multimode, multiband, digital radios for OEM applications, they deliver the optimal cost, lowest power consumption and smallest size. The AceAxis Adaptive Antenna System is the top of the range beamforming-enabled product configuration. Adaptive Antenna Systems provide a large increase in network capacity and are particularly suited to densely populated urban networks that can benefit from its multimode, multicarrier and multi-bandwidth capabilities. This beamforming solution allows wireless broadband operators to spatially reuse radio frequency spectrum and increase their network capacity. The Adaptive Antenna System flexibility also makes it the ideal solution for network operators that wish to run RAN sharing operations.

About NetLogic Microsystems' Universal DFE™ technology
Universal DFE™ technology is central to NetLogic’s DFE processor family. The unique technology enables base stations to support the broadest range of standards, protocols, frequency bands, and power amplifier architectures and technologies and is ideally suited for SDR, singleRAN or GERAN transceiver deployments using Doherty, Asymmetric Doherty and Envelope-Tracking power amplifiers in LDMOS, GaN and GaAs technologies. In addition, the Universal DFE technology enables intelligent, real-time calibration and adaptation to real-world environments and variations to ensure the highest performance and scalability for customer systems. Moreover, the best-in-class DFE processor family from NetLogic Microsystems delivers up to 80 percent better transmit power efficiency over competing solutions, which enables OEMs to achieve higher data rates at much lower transmit power levels.
