LTE: Next-gen mobile solutions for bandwidth-intense applications
Flip through the pages of any trade publication and you'll see something written about Long Term Evolution (LTE). Without a question, LTE is hot. And it was on everyone's mind at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week.
Engineered to provide high-speed, low-latency data to unlock high-bandwidth applications, LTE is a highly anticipated technology for tomorrow's mobile environment. In Barcelona, we demonstrated LTE feature capabilities, including uplink and downlink at high data rates with streaming HD video.
Most analysts have suggested LTE-enabled consumer devices are at least a year away, yet we're already achieving peak data rates of 96 Mbps downlink and 86 Mbps uplink for mobile devices — and plan to go higher as the standard matures.
Learn more about LTE at www.freescale.com/LTE, and read the press release about our LTE demos from Mobile World Congress.

Enhancements planned for 3G Mobile eXtreme Convergence reference design
Take Freescale's Mobile eXtreme Convergence (MXC) architecture and then combine it with S60 and Symbian OS™ — and you've got a powerful trio. The three companies created the first HSDPA mobile phone reference design using Freescale's MXC. That design has developed into a mature solution, addressing both upper-low-tier and mid-tier 3G market segments. Freescale continues to enhance the first 3G mobile phone reference design using MXC with S60 and Symbian OS. Design enhancements and cost reductions with the newly-introduced fully-integrated RFCMOS 90nm radio reference design is planned as part of another collaboration with S60 and Symbian. Read more.
Linux community now has integrated Linux BSP for mobile handset applications
The rumor is true. Support for the Linux® operating system on our cellular products is available. Freescale's Linux cellular platform is capable of supporting any Linux Application Framework, whether it's an industry standard or an OEM's proprietary solution. Read more.
Deep packet inspection available for IP-based telecom networks
With telecommunications infrastructure networks becoming more IP-based, network security solutions are even more critical. Together, with Qosmos, we're providing high-performance deep packet inspection solutions using Qosmos' Qoala software on Freescale's MPC8572E PowerQUICC® III processor. The same platform capability will be able to scale from today's dual core MPC8572E to Freescale's innovative multicore platform. Read more.
Partnership helps expand automotive presence in China
China is the second largest automotive market in the world, following only the United States. To create new opportunities in this rapidly growing market, we've formed an alliance with Comtech Group, Inc. We'll focus on using our advanced semiconductor technology in Comtech's customized module solutions, concentrating on its original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and original design manufacturing (ODM) customers in the Chinese automotive market.
