Infineon and Nokia collaborate to drive lte to 1Gbit/s

Infineon technologies and Nokia have joined forces to develop advanced rf transceiver solutions for use in lte wireless communications.

The two companies will work together with a view to ensuring current and future generations of Nokia's licensable modem designs work with Infineon's rf transceiver products. This, says Infineon, will provide access to complete modem solutions for high speed packet access though lte. The collaboration involves teams from both organisations working to ensure interoperability and compatibility. Both companies will jointly drive the interface standardisation for LTE advanced enabling data rates of up to 1Gbit/s. Prof Hermann Eul, member of the Infineon management board, said: "We are grateful to expand our successful collaboration with Nokia beyond our current platform and rf activities. Pairing Nokia's advanced modem technology and Infineon's best in class rf transceiver solutions, will give the industry access to very competitive chipset solutions."
