Beceem Intros Combo WiMax/LTE Chipset

Feb 15, 2010, 9:16 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Today Beceem Communications announced the BCS500, which is the first chip that integrates LTE and WiMax onto the same silicon. The BCS500 is a multi-mode chip that supports IEEEÂ 802.16e/m and the Release 8 3GPP-LTE standard. According to Beceem, it supports TDD and FDD configurations for LTE and IEEEÂ 802.16e/m, which provides for real-time band/channel reconfiguration by automatically detecting what sort of networks are present and providing the best connectivity. Beceem is collaborating with Motorola on the BCS500, which will sample in the fourth quarter of 2010. The chip isn't expected to reach full production until the second quarter of 2011.
