TI aims at slice of LTE market

In order to accelerateOEM time to market with LTE technology, TI has created a development ecosystem, combining its wireless infrastructure DSPs, and software libraries and ATCA/AMC cards from leading systems developers Mercury Computer Systems and Silicon Turnkey Express (STx).
“This is a tumultuous time for service providers as they strive to meet consumers’ growing demand for high bandwidth applications,” said Godfrey Chua, research manager for IDC’s wireless and mobile infrastructure service.
“Although the LTE standard is not yet finalized, carriers’ work must begin now to test and evaluate its potential. TI’s LTE development ecosystem is the right approach and comes at the right time as it provides carriers and equipment manufacturers with sufficient lead time to meet potential deployment goals falling in the 2009/
2010 timeframe.”
Although the LTE standard has not yet been finalized, service providers TI hopes ots  development ecosystem will provide a preview into how systems can support the LTE air interface.
