By Mr. Roman Lee Robles, Manager DSP System and Software Dept., Freescale Semiconductor Inc.


Mr. Roman Robles from Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., which has newly become a member of PHS MoU Group made a presentation about their Broadband Wireless BTS Solution.
  1. Company Overview

    Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. is a global leader in the design and manufacture of embedded semiconductors for the automotive, consumer, industrial, mobile communications, networking and enabling technologies. The privately-held company is based in Austin, Texas, and has design, research and development, manufacturing or sales operations in more than 30 countries. Freescale is one of the world's largest semiconductor companies with 2006 sales revenue of US$6.4 billion .


          Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. has three business groups as shown bellow.
  •           Wireless & Mobile Systems Group
  •           Transportation & Standard Products Group
  •           Networking & Computing Systems Group

  2. XG-PHS Cell Station
    XG-PHS shares similar speculation with WiMax. By making a few modifications to the DSP and processor software that corresponds to WiMax system, Freescale can provide solution for XG-PHS. Besides, By making use of device and development environment provided by Freescale, the development of solution can be completed with low cost in a short period.



    As described below, simple XG-PHS cell station can be developed in a short period by adopting Freescale solution method with a DSP（MSC8144）、a PowerPC（83xxE or 85xxE） and several FPGAs.
