[May 16, 2008] RadioFrame to Offer Second-Gen OmniRadio Microprocessor Tweet (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RadioFrame Networks (RFN), a provider of small footprint wireless base stations, announced plans for its second generation OmniRadio processor, setting the stage for RadioFrame to deliver femtocell products for Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX networks. RadioFrame launched its OmniRadio processor last year as the first silicon solution developed exclusively for the femtocell marketplace. The company stated that the solution gives wireless carriers a distinct cost advantage and is the industry s only combined 2G/3G femtocell being marketed today. RadioFrame is unique with our approach of an upgradeable platform solution that lets a wireless network provider implement femtocells in 2G, 3G and 4G networks and upgrade those same femtocells remotely as requirements for standards change, said RadioFrame CEO Jeff Brown. With our OmniRadio processor we not only offer wireless carriers a distinct cost advantage, we also offer the only software based, upgradeable femtocell solution in the industry today. We are designing the RadioFrame solution to be both the first and last femtocell product that a carrier would ever need to deploy. According to RadioFrame, its second generation OmniRadio processor incorporates a wealth of system and software wireless technology and intellectual property developed by RFN to provide solutions that enable triple play voice, media and high speed data applications. It is based on silicon technology that ensures an excellent performance-to-cost ratio in one chip that can support 2G, 3G and now LTE and WiMAX networks. OmniRadio is architected as a multi-processor platform with an advanced ARM core and signal processing capabilities, as well as expansive on-chip memory for run-time code execution at all levels. It also incorporates RFN s patented and fielded applications for packet synchronization that exceeds ETSI standards. We are continuing to develop silicon solutions that enable our customers to truly open up the wireless market in the home, said Greg Veintimilla, RadioFrame Vice President of Engineering. We firmly believe that cost sensitivities, coupled with a need for high performance requirements, are mandating highly integrated solutions. LTE and WiMAX will push that envelope even further and we are convinced the OmniRadio II processor makes RadioFrame uniquely positioned to make the most of these opportunities.
