Based on Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) technology, this new generation is commonly referred to as the third-generation. Third-generation wireless systems will enable advanced mobile communications services anywhere users happen to be. Users will not only be able to make phone calls from their wireless phones, but they also will be able to surf the Web, check their e-mail, conduct videoconferences and enjoy a wide range of other services.

But before the phones appear that can take advantage of these services, a third-generation wireless infrastructure must be deployed that accommodates the underlying third-generation WCDMA technology. Fundamental to the infrastructure are the thousands of wireless base stations that receive calls from and transport them through the cellular networks. This means creating a new generation of base stations that can handle greater capacity, process higher data rates and support multimedia data and video, while reducing their size, cost and power consumption.

As wireless original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) begin designing the wireless base stations that will appear in the next decade, they will rely on the ’C6202 to achieve the level of signal processing their systems need.
