Wavesat, a supplier of Broadband Wireless semiconductor solutions, has reportedly announced the availability of its Odyssey 9000 family of LTE (News - Alert) chipsets.

 
The company said the LTE chipset features CAT-3 performance (100 Mb/s downlink, 50 Mb/s uplink) for mobile devices, including USB dongles, data cards, mobile handsets and MIDs.
 
The Odyssey 9000, a highly integrated SOC with low power consumption boasts a highly flexible and programmable architecture to easily adapt to LTE's evolving requirements. It leverages Wavesat’s (News - Alert) multi-protocol architecture to support other 4G technologies including WiMAX and Japan’s XGP standard.
 
Robert Syputa, a partner and principal analyst with Maravedis (News - Alert), said that the industry is moving rapidly to strategic use of IP applications enabled by LTE. This change makes Wavesat well positioned to offer an agile response to changing product and market demands.
 
What makes Odyssey 9000 unique is its highly flexible and 'future proof' system architecture, Syputa said. This can not only help lower life-cycle product costs but also provide a migration to multiple radio access network operating or roaming models.
 
Raj Singh (News - Alert), president and CEO of Wavesat, said officials received positive feedback from leading network operators and OEMs regarding the Odyssey 9000 family of products. He said believes this will help device manufacturers offer production quality LTE mobile devices with CAT-3 capability by yearend.
 
"We are working now with a few lead operators and OEMs to have fully interoperable LTE devices in place to meet the demand as LTE networks go operational worldwide beginning next year," Singh said in a statement.
 
Wavesat provides advanced semiconductor solutions to the world's major carrier and mobile device manufacturers to deploy future-proof broadband services and products. Recentlt, the company made headlines extending relationship with Proximetry, a company providing real-time network and performance management solutions for wireless operators.
 
The expansion of the relation will help wireless broadband operators and infrastructure providers to enhance their service offerings and provide greater value to their customers.
