Earlier today, in order to develop and integrate Aviacomm's Smart Analog Solution technology into the Toshiba (News - Alert) Remote Base Station Product Line, an announcement was made by Aviacomm Inc. and Toshiba Corporation stating that both the companies will work together.

Multiple architectural approaches are being offered to the market, with the drive toward smaller cells being fueled by capacity concerns overtaking coverage as the primary requirement for 3G and 4G networks. While delivering the radio signal over fiber to remote digital radio heads, the Toshiba ROF Remote BTS approach allows consolidation of the core network processing into a central location.

With this approach, minimal site preparation and a short amount of time, installation of additional network radios can be accomplished. This architectural approach requires performance typical of a macro BTS at a cost commensurate with small cells.

Toshiba has qualified the Aviacomm ARF technology after months of extensive testing and has now agreed to move forward with joint development and integration of the ARF series into the Toshiba ROF solution. Only Aviacomm was able to meet the stringent specifications in a small CMOS RFIC when Toshiba conducted an exhaustive evaluation.

"We’re excited about working with Toshiba on next generation remote BTS systems. Whereas previously infrastructure design and development focused on performance with cost a secondary consideration, the advent of these new architectures means cost will be a key driver,” said Shih Mo, CEO of Aviacomm.

He added that its core technology of wideband, flexible, programmable Smart Analog Solutions embodied in the ARF product line offers the cost effectiveness of silicon, the low power consumption associated with CMOS, and the highest levels of performance typically seen in radios costing thousands of dollars.

Focused on solving the last remaining barrier to cognitive radio solutions, the RFIC, Aviacomm was founded by a group of wireless experts. Addressing a variety of markets and applications, Aviacomm offers low power, high performance and programmable frequency agile front-end solutions.
