KT selects Cavium's OCTEON Fusion platformAug 23, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Cavium, Inc, a provider of integrated semiconductor products, has announced that KT, a communication service provider in Korea, has selected Cavium's OCTEON Fusion platform for the first stage of commercial deployment of LTE small cell. The OCTEON Fusion processors combine OCTEON's L2-L7 multi-core technology, along with purpose-built, highly programmable L1 baseband DSP cores and 3G/4G hardware accelerators, and front end (DFE) functionality in a single chip. These components are connected through a high performance interconnect to enable low-latency data processing between protocol layers. The OCTEON Fusion family consists of two software compatible product lines: CNF71XX and CNF72XX, which deliver performance for small cell base stations supporting from 32 to 300+ users on both LTE and 3G platforms. The Fusion platform is also designed to support a range of wireless and wired backhaul technologies including Wireless LAN, Microwave, Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber. "KT has great expertise and experience in LTE Cloud-RAN small cell technology 'LTE WARP', which won the LTE Awards of LTE World Summit 2012. KT continues to demonstrate its leadership with this large scale commercial deployment of LTE small cell networks. We look forward to supporting their new product development efforts," said YJ Kim, general manager, infrastructure product group, Cavium. "We are pleased that KT has selected our OCTEON Fusion as the platform of choice to deploy for their small cell LTE infrastructure. End to End interoperability (IOT) is critical for service provider deployments, and our focus on this area along with our strategic partners is enabling the quick acceptance of our small cell solution by carriers and OEMs." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
