Gen6 Wi-Max Chip Enlists Dual Transmit Uplink Technology

Reportedly representing the most advanced 4G-Wi-MAX platform ever designed, the sixth-generation BCSx350 chip employs a patented Twin-Turbo dual transmit uplink technology that provides up to 6 dB of performance gain compared to traditional Wave 2 uplink technology. The device also features MIMO decoder technology and interference-cancellation algorithms that can increase the downlink performance at high- and low-signal strength, thereby improving throughput and hand-off performance. The BCSx350 comes in two models: the BCSM350 for mobile/embedded devices and BCS5350 for high-performance, low-cost CPE that simultaneously support data, voice, and Wi-Fi.
