Soft modem core delivers ‘new level’ of performance

  • Soft modem core delivers ‘new level’ of performance

UK firm, Cognovo has incorporated additional processing resources to its soft modem processing engine to meet the requirements of LTE-Advanced and offer a 'new level' of performance.

The company's MCE160 core, which it claims is the most powerful in the industry, is code compatible with the MCE120 to simplify the process of upgrading designs from LTE to LTE-Advanced, as well as other algorithmically intensive applications. It is supported by Cognovo's suite of software development tools and is designed to deliver in excess of 250GOp/s of processing power.

"Our customers' development teams are already using the Cognovo tool suite to develop and validate their soft modem designs in simulation, independent of the silicon development flow," said Pascal Herczog (pictured), Cognovo's cto. "With the availability of MCE160, our customers can now move beyond LTE to create flexible basebands with the power to run LTE-Advanced modems purely in software."
