ANADIGICS, Inc., a leading provider of innovative RF solutions for broadband radio and wireline communications, today announced that Novatel Wireless has selected its WCDMA/HSPA and EDGE power amplifiers (PAs) for 2 new radio HSPA+ Mobile Broadband USB modems. HSPA+ is the next evolution of high-speed packet access (HSPA) wireless broadband engineering, offering greater mental ability for information throughput compared to current 3G networks.
Novatel Wireless’ Ovation MC996D and MC998D wireless broadband USB modems spring laptop computer PC and notebook computer users upload speeds as high gear as 5.76 Mbps and download speeds of 21.6 Mbps or higher on HSPA+ networks, enabling high gear-caliber drug user experiences with video recording, multimedia system, gaming and other data-intensive mobile applications. ANADIGICS PAs deliver the power and one-dimensionality required for high-speeding uplinks in EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, and HSPA+ modes.
“We are proud to play a part in the continuing development of the mobile broadband ecosystem by supporting Novatel Wireless’ exploitation of industry-leadership devices like these new Ovation wireless broadband USB modems,” said Mike Canonico, vice president of Worldwide Sales for ANADIGICS. “Our committal to origination in RF solutions over 25 years has enabled ANADIGICS to become a valued partner, providing RF solutions and application support for mobile devices that enable early deployments of advanced wireless technologies like HSPA+ and LTE which are driving emergence in radio information applications worldwide.”
Both Novatel Wireless modems rich person received manufacture compliance from the Global Certification Forum (GCF), a process that involved several hundred merchandise laboratory trial cases and extensive field of operation trials that measured the performance of the Ovation MC996D and MC998D on different 3G networks in European Economic Community. The examination conducted to achieve GCF certification ensures that the Ovation MC996D and MC998D products volition have the highest reliability and functionality on HSPA+ mobile networks throughout the world.
The Ovation MC996D operates in 3G modes in the 2100MHz and 900MHz UMTS bands widely used in Europe and also includes quad-banding EDGE for connectivity on GSM/EDGE networks around the world. The Ovation MC998D radio broadband USB modem operates in 3G modes in the 2100MHz, 1900MHz and 850MHz UMTS bands used in North America and Japan, and also includes quadrangle-banding EDGE connectivity. Novatel selected ANADIGICS AWT6222 and AWT6224 dual-band PAs for WCDMA, HSPA and HSPA+ procedure, and the Company’s AWE6159 quadrangle-banding PA for EDGE manner operation.
Francis Scott Key Facts and Highlights:
– A recent study by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (General Services Administration) confirmed 315 WCDMA networks in operation at the end of 2009, of which 303 networks also offered High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) overhaul in procedure which delivers subscribers data rates of 3.6 Mbps or higher.
– The GSA confirmed 37 commercial message HSPA+ networks in overhaul at the end of 2009, including systems in Australia, Europe and Asia. Another 29 operators around the worldly concern rich person committed to deploy HSPA+ in 2010 or 2011.
– HSPA+ systems offer information rates from 14.4 Mbps to 28 Mbps with the potential to achieve information rates of 42 Mbps on a 5MHz carrier, significant improvements in drug user experience vs. early 3G networks delivering 384kbps information.
– ANADIGICS AWT6222 and AWT6224 are dual-band HELP3 WCDMA/HSPA might amplifiers that incorporate the Company’s proprietary engineering for high-efficiency at first gear powers, while delivering the high yield might and goodness one-dimensionality required for high gear-pace, low-BER uplink transmissions in HSPA and HSPA+ modes. These awarding-winning products incorporate separate amplifier iron for two UMTS bands in a single 3mm x 5mm package, with park power and logic connections to reduce RF board expanse and simplify layout.
– ANADIGICS AWE6159 quadrangle-band EDGE PA is designed to meet performance requirements for GMSK and EDGE modes chipsets using open-loop polar modulation, such as the Qualcomm MDM8200. It has an internal consultation electric potential and integrated power control for both GMSK and 8PSK operation to reduce the number of external components and simplify product calibration. The AWE6159 power control function includes battery detection circuitry for robust ORFS transient spectrum performance at low battery voltages. Its 5×5mm package is 49% smaller than ANADIGICS previous generation of polar-EDGE devices.
– ANADIGICS PAs ar manufactured using ANADIGICS’ proprietary InGaP-Plus engineering for res publica-of-the-artistic creation reliability, temperature constancy and ruggedness, using materials consistent with the European North’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
