Cavium product to power mass deployment of small cell LTE InfrastructureAug 02, 2012 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Integrated semiconductor products provider Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM) said that its Octeon Fusion platform will be powering the 4G/LTE small cell deployment for Korean mobile service provider SK Telecom. This collaboration between SK Telecom and Cavium extends from the initial development phase into the broad mass market deployment in 2012. Cavium said carriers can rapidly alleviate spectrum and capacity limitations, and expand their existing LTE macro cell based networks with an overlay of small cells using Cavium's Octeon Fusion "base station on a chip" hardware and software platform. Effective deployment of such a large and distributed overlay radio access network requires small cell base stations to be interoperable with the existing macro and core networks, compact, energy efficient and reliable. "Cavium's Fusion processor platform provides a market-leading LTE small cell solution with proven carrier grade capabilities for large multiuser small cells," said Kang Jong-Ryeol, head of network technology of SK Telecom. "We look forward to aggressively expanding both our subscriber base and our high bandwidth data services with the roll out of cost-effective, feature-rich small cell solutions based on the Octeon Fusion platform."
