Get ready for blazing fast data transfer from a single chip for all cell communication networks.
Marvell Co-Founder Weili Dai proclaimed, "The World Modem is another game-changing breakthrough... As a leader in China's 3G standard TD-SCDMA technologies, Marvell has enabled the delivery of a wide array of affordable, advanced consumer devices – including smart phones, tablets and mobile hot spot devices – to China, the world's largest mobile market. Building on that foundation, Marvell is now leading the way to a new era of seamless global connectivity for the masses with the industry's first single chip 2G/3G/4G modem with support for FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, and EDGE."
Combining 3GPP R9 Cat 4 FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing Long Term Evolution) and TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing Long Term Evolution) with R8 DC-HSPA+ (Dual Carrier Evolved High-Speed Packet Access) for both WB-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) and TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) standards and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) will deliver the highest data rate available in any given geography.
Dai continues on about the new single-chip world modem and its future applications, "I envision a time soon when a truly affordable global communications network helps to bring our world closer as consumers from every walk of life enjoy uninterrupted access to all services, applications and the worldwide cloud from any device they choose anywhere they roam. I am proud of Marvell's global team of engineers for their pioneering work and I am excited by all the potential applications our customers will have to use this versatile and affordable new technology to make the world a better place for everyone." This low-cost extremely versatile and reliable modem is easily adaptable to any network so keep your eyes peeled at Marvell.
It looks like WiMax is the loser in the 4G race, according to Marvell.
