CM1125RD
Comsys Communication and Signal Processing has launched its latest Commax reference design platform.
The CM1125RD is an optimised multimode mobile Wimax/GSM-Edge smartphone reference design platform.
Based on the Commax CM1125 baseband processor and solutions from Comsys Mobile's ecosystem partners, it incorporates all the features and functionalities required of smartphones, from antennas to application processors.
OEM/ODMs can now receive a complete pre-integrated form-factor solution enabling maximum optimisation and reduced time to market, according to the company.
The CM1125RD also integrates WLAN, BT, FM radio and GPS connectivity, enabling the coexistence of radios for all usage scenarios.
The solution complies with Wimax Forum mobile Wimax requirements and 3GPP GSM/Edge standards and supports multimode mobile Wimax/GSM-Edge voice call continuity between Wimax voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and the GSM CS voice based on a standard IMS platform.
The CM1125RD comes with a debug support unit incorporating Comsys Mobile's proprietary testing software toolset, including the CMon and Soclogger Acquirer applications, to facilitate the certification, IOT and Wimax/GSM-Edge field trial testing of clients' manufactured devices.
Randall Schwartz, principal consultant of Wireless 20/20, said: 'With numerous real network rollouts of Wimax technology this year, the availability of dual-mode devices will be very important.
'Not only operators with both GSM and Wimax operations but Wimax operators in countries with significant GSM coverage will need dual-mode devices to provide advanced data and voice services in both their initial coverage areas and traditional coverage areas.
'The Comsys solution has the performance and long battery life to enable interesting form factors for end-user devices,' he added.
Ehud Reshef, Comsys Mobile's director for Wimax product marketing, said: 'The CM1125RD is the latest in a series of platforms developed for OEMs/ODMs, following our Commax Evaluation Board and Expresscard/34 reference design.
'The platform will facilitate OEM/ODM efforts in meeting the market's increasing demands for handsets and smartphones supporting mobile Wimax/GSM-Edge,' he added.
The CM1125RD will be presented at Comsys Mobile's booth (stand 5750-E) in the Wimax Pavilion at CTIA Las Vegas on 1-3 April.
