Design Considerations

Femtocell base stations are devices that enhance the wireless experience in the home or office, bringing higher data rates, better coverage and lower cost plans to the user.

In typical femtocell network architecture, mobile phone users in the enterprise connect to the femto base station. This femto base station uses the existing landline connection (usually DSL, cable or fiber) to connect to the wireless operator's network. These femto base stations must co-exist within the macro base station area and provide powerful performance, while coping with challenges of interference, power control and hand off with the macro network.

TI's optimized DSP solutions help femtocell manufacturers and service providers reduce development time and deliver new products to market fast. In addition, TI provides the complete analog signal chain for femtocell applications, including data converters, RF products, power management, clocks and amplifiers, allowing manufacturers to develop a complete hardware femtocell solution from a single silicon supplier.

TI also provides third party software from mimoON and Continuous Computing, enabling OEMs to quickly develop femtocell products to provide increased wireless connectivity for streaming video files, interactive gaming, music sharing and other bandwidth-intense multimedia tasks.
