World's smallest 3G base station like u disk

British chip maker PICOCHIP3 14th in Beijing announced the launch of its next generation Picoxcell home base Station system-level chip series of the first product PC3008.　　Andy Gothard, marketing director of Picochip company, said the device maker could use the device to design a 3G base station in the oversized size of a U disk. It is reported that the introduction of Subminiature home Base station into the utility will enable operators to easily add the functions of the HSPA home base station to devices such as home gateways, cable modems and set-top boxes.　　PC3008 with a high degree of integration of 3G home base station, the total component cost is significantly reduced to less than 50 U.S. dollars. PC3008 is the first product of the PC30XX device series that supports 8 users with 3GPP version 7 HSPA (21Mbps downlink, 5Mbps uplink) specifications. This is the third generation of devices introduced by Picochip after defining the PC202 chip of the home base station market in 2006 and establishing the industry standard PC3XX series.　　Like the previous two generations of products, PC3008 uses a picochip, validated, field-proven base band (PHY), which has been successfully deployed on the global 100多万个 base station. A new study by ABI shows that 2010 home base station shipments were 1.3 million. This figure is expected to increase to 70.2 million in 2015, with an annual composite growth rate of 154%. Aditya Kaul, director of mobile network operations at ABI Research, said that residential base stations constitute the largest part of the deployment of home base stations to date and are expected to remain dominant in future market developments. With smaller shapes and reduced costs, the integration of home base stations with home gateways has become highly achievable. In 2010, 17 operators offered commercial home base stations, a figure expected to grow rapidly in 2011.
