Next week at CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas, Duisburg, Germany’s mimoOn GmbH will demonstrate its end-to-end LTE software solution for development of mobile infrastructure and client devices using software-defined radio (SDR) platform. The company offers two versions of its SDR LTE product: one customized for base stations, picocells, and femtocells; and the other for client devices such as data cards, mobile phones, wireless modules and wireless modems.

One of the major themes this year at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona was LTE and enabling the next generation of wireless networks that can achieve 100 Mbps downlink/50 Mbps uplink. The challenge is that vendors have to start design of LTE equipment now in order to meet market demands in 2009, even though the LTE specification is not yet ratified, said mimoON.

“From the start, mimoOn designed its software product for this market reality” said Thomas Kaiser, CEO of mimoOn. “Our LTE product is written in high level software making it easily upgradeable, and it is implemented in SDR technology which can be reconfigured and remotely upgraded when the standard is finalized.”

According to mimoOn, it’s platform offers the high processing power required for LTE, but instead of using high clock frequencies, use parallel processing technology in order to keep power consumption low. The software solution also offers features such as reconfigurability, which is key for supporting legacy mobile standards such as 3G and 2G whilst LTE evolves. The mimoOn SDR LTE platform supports the optional features of LTE, and it is future-proof and scalable to meet the processing requirements of future releases such as advanced LTE and MIMO in the uplink.
