Beceem and Motorola collaborate on 4G chip solution

Feb 17, 2010 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- Provider of 4G chips and wireless, Beceem Communications and Motorola (NYSE: MOT), a broadband communications company, are partnering to pair Motorola's advanced 4G WiMAX infrastructure with Beceem's upcoming BCS500 4G chip.


Making this announcement today, the companies said that the BCS500 4G chip supports WiMAX 16e and 16m as well as UE Class 4 LTE capabilities in both the TDD and FDD configurations, including plans for handoff between WiMAX and LTE.

The optimisation of TDD and FDD co-existence for LTE is important for many operators with disparate spectrum holdings. This collaborative effort is expected to enhance product performance.

This WiMAX chip is expected to be the first to support TDD and FDD flavours for LTE with future plans for LTE-to-WiMAX roaming.
