Tensilica Joins Wi-Fi Alliance offering Wide DSP Family to Bolster Wireless Multi-Standard Modem Solutions

We congratulate Tensilica on becoming a member of Wi-Fi Alliance, said Edgar Figueroa, CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance. By joining our organization, Tensilica has demonstrated its commitment to advancing Wi-Fi technology while preserving a great user experience.

We're joining the Wi-Fi Alliance to help support the industry and provide the most power-efficient programmable solution for next-generation Wi-Fi chips, stated Eric Dewannain, Tensilica's vice president and business unit manager, baseband business unit. Our ConnX BBE 32 UE DSP is particularly well suited to provide the optimum balance of low power and high performance.

The ConnX BBE 32 UE is part of the family of DSPs optimized for wireless communications. Tensilica's DSPs range from the popular dual-MAC ConnX D2 to the 64-MAC ConnX BBE64 DSP, and they provide a wide range of performance for demanding communication standards including Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, HSPA+, LTE and LTE-Advanced. All Tensilica DSPs are fully programmable in C and feature fully compatible top-end software tool sets and design environments in order to simplify software development.

The ConnX BBE32 UE DSP was specifically optimized for achieving the best power/performance/area in handsets for demanding communications standards such as LTE and LTE-Advanced. It has been optimized using 3G and LTE end-to-end reference implementations and validated in a full uplink/downlink platform including the demanding complex domain signal processing algorithms such as LTE channel estimation and MIMO.
