GCT Semiconductor Announces World's First 4x4 MIMO LTE-Advanced Solution Powers NEC Platforms 4G Mobile Router in Japan


GCT® Semiconductor, a leading designer and supplier of advanced 4G mobile semiconductor solutions, today announced that its 4G LTE (News - Alert)-Advanced chip, GDM7243Q, powers the new 4G LTE mobile router developed by NEC (News - Alert) Platforms (NECPF), and announced by Q Communications (UQ) in Japan earlier this year. UQ plans to launch this ultra high speed mobile router early March 2015.



GCT's FDD-TDD-LTE Advanced chip features advanced performance multi-antenna technology, 4x4 MIMO, that improves LTE coverage, peak throughput and spectral efficiency. GDM7243Q delivers Cat 5/6/7 throughputs with speeds up to 300 Mbps, and supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and eMBMS (LTE broadcast) as well as other advanced features.

"GCT's GDM7243Q is the world's first LTE-Advanced chip to offer high performance 4x4 MIMO multi-antenna technology, which produces the same superior efficiency as conventional Carrier Aggregation (CA) LTE-Advanced while using smaller bandwidth," said Alex Sum, vice president of sales and marketing at GCT Semiconductor (News - Alert), Inc. "As operators continue to look for options to manage the rising influx of data, GCT offers a more efficient and improved utilization of bandwidth that allows operators to maximize their spectrum and provide a more cost-effective service to their customers."
