DesignArt Networks Debuts DAN3000 Family With Pair of Mobile Base Station SoCs
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, May 18, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
DesignArt Networks, the leading provider of single-chip 4G base
station SoCs with actual field deployments, today announced the first
two members of its next-generation DAN3000 open SoC family. With the
DAN3400 and DAN3100 SoCs, DesignArt provides system vendors with a
complete end-to-end development framework for any type of base
station product, enabling single-SoC solutions ranging from picocell
access points to large-scale distributed MacroBTS applications.
"The DAN3400 and DAN3100 SoCs extend DesignArt's patented
System-on-Chip approach, leading two evolution paths of the mobile
base station architecture -- distributed and Compact BTS solutions,"
said Oz Barak, DesignArt Networks CEO. "With these new SoCs,
DesignArt enables tremendous cost-savings for vendors targeting any
kind of mobile 2G, 3G, or 4G technology. The pin-compatible DAN3000
SoC family offers a unique single-SoC R&D development framework for
any type, size and performance of mobile base station product, thus
drastically extending our customers' market reach. By lowering R&D
expenses, creating ultra-compact products at lower costs, and
enabling higher revenues in an extended target market, we clearly
have created a winning proposition for our customers."
The DAN3400 is the flagship SoC of DesignArt's new technology
platform. The unique and patented multi-layer, multi-core
architecture of the DAN3400 is comprised of two completely
software-defined high-performance sub-systems -- an embedded base
station and a digital front-end design for high-output RF
applications. The DAN3400 extends DesignArt's current lead in the
single-box Compact BTS market, enabling Compact BTS solutions ranging
from the lowest-cost 4G access points all the way up to
multi-carrier, multi-protocol, multi-sector macrocells, based on one
single R&D software and hardware development framework.
The DAN3100 offers a targeted solution for digital radio designs,
e.g. multi-carrier, multi-mode remote radio head (RRH) products. In
combination, the DAN3400 and the DAN3100 are the only available
end-to-end distributed base station silicon solutions on the market,
ranging from low-cost distributed MicroBTS, up to the most powerful
distributed MacroBTS systems. Vendors can use both versions of the
pin-compatible SoC family, turning any RRH design instantly into a
single-box macrocell Compact BTS with the same RF output power.
All members of the DAN3000 SoC family support the concurrent
operation of 2G, 3G, and 4G services at the full performance level of
macrocell base stations, providing operators with both future-proof
and backwards compatible in-field software evolution paths all the
way to full 4G.
"The mobile radio access network is about to transform to a new
multi-layer architecture paradigm, as a cost-effective method of
handling the mobile data explosion," said Aditya Kaul, Practice
Director, Mobile Networks at ABI Research, "Going forward we expect
to see the emergence of additional second or third layers comprised
of many smaller base stations -- essentially delivering the required
capacity density. Initially just deployed as a fill-in, these
additional layers will soon extend to be a fundamental part of the
mobile radio access network both indoors and outdoors. With the
DAN3400 and DAN3100 SoC solutions DesignArt is well positioned in
this emerging segment of SoC-based compact base stations for macro-,
micro- and picocell applications, now addressing multi-standard
mobile service networks."
The DAN3000 product family is comprised of several products ranging
from picocell access points, compact base stations for macro-, micro-
and picocells, and distributed macro base stations, to RRH, and
high-capacity gigabit PtP and PmP backhaul systems.
First samples will be available to select customers in Q3 of 2010.
About DesignArt Networks
DesignArt Networks Ltd is the leading supplier of highly integrated
System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure solutions for the evolving mobile
radio access network. Based on a unique multi-layer, multi-core
architecture, DAN open SoC platforms integrate in a single SoC
product all four processing layers required for the design of any
type of mobile radio access network (RAN) infrastructure product,
ranging from base stations, radio heads, backhaul systems, and up to
fully integrated multi-sector 4G base station systems with zero-cost
self-backhaul -- on one chip. DesignArt provides a single powerful
system development and debugging framework, including full-featured
and trial-ready software applications. Vendors benefit from the
resulting low-cost, yet powerful and flexible product portfolio,
while drastically reducing R&D and life-cycle expenses, and
optimizing time-to-market. Operators benefit from best-of-breed, yet
compact RAN equipment with an absolute minimum of power consumption.
