[March 01, 2013] Freescale integrates QorIQ Qonverge processors with AirHop's eSON Tweet Mar 01, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., a manufacturer of embedded processing solutions, and AirHop Communications, a developer of systems software for the deployment of 4G wireless networks, have announced that they are establishing solutions that integrate Freescale's QorIQ Qonverge processors with AirHop's eSON advanced self-organizing network, or SON, software to speed deployment of heterogeneous networks, or HetNets. AirHop eSON software support for QorIQ Qonverge processors is designed to facilitate the coordination of macrocell base stations and small cells, optimizing mobile traffic via dynamic load balancing and inter-cell interference management. This allows QorIQ Qonverge customers to accelerate 4G system deployment and optimize broadband coverage of HetNets. The QorIQ Qonverge portfolio is comprised of integrated base station-on-chip devices built on advanced heterogeneous multicore technology. The broad family of products addresses multi-standard requirements scaling from residential femto to macro cells with a common architecture. AirHop's advanced RAN Intelligence solutions manage interference and optimize system capacity in multi-cell and multi-layer network configurations. AirHop's eSON software suite provides real-time optimization of available radio resources via multi-cell coordination to effectively provide coverage, capacity and quality of service (QoS) for each cell and individual user. This is especially critical in HetNet deployments where a large number of supplemental small cells can exist within a macrocell coverage area. AirHop's eSON software enables carriers to deploy small cells on an as-needed basis, leading to significant opex savings. It also improves network capacity by utilizing real-time, multi-cell coordination and optimization. This continuous optimization is performed in hundreds of millisecond intervals and can improve overall data throughput by 10 to 40 percent. AirHop's eSON software can be deployed in fully distributed, centralized or hybrid architectures and, for maximum flexibility, can be located in the cloud and in a variety of network edge devices. "Leading wireless infrastructure equipment OEMs worldwide are leveraging the performance, scalablity and energy efficiency of Freescale's QorIQ Qonverge base station-on-chip portfolio to create world-class products for the rollout of heterogeneous 4G LTE networks," said Tareq Bustami, vice president of product management for Freescale's digital networking business. "Combining QorIQ Qonverge processors with highly advanced SON software from AirHop will help our customers get to market sooner, maximize ease of use and take performance to new levels." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
