Broadcom
announced its first 4G modem for smartphones and tablets.
Broadcom has long made mobile processors and 3G modems, but this is its
first steps into the LTE market.
- 28nm 4G LTE modem with integrated radio and cellular baseband reduces board area by approximately 35 percent
- Solution supports all 3GPP standards technologies including 4G
LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA and EDGE/GSM
- Integrated IMS/VoLTE capability allows operators to deploy HD voice and other advanced features
- Carrier aggregation enables operators to combine frequency bands and deliver peak 4G LTE speeds
The BCM21892 reduces the overall footprint of the
chip by 35% when compared to competitors' products and also consumes
25% less power. The BCM21892 supports all 3GPP standards,
including LTE-Advanced, LTE (category 4, with speeds up to 150Mbps),
HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, and GSM/EDGE. It supports IMS and can deliver HD voice
and VoLTE for carriers interested in those services.
