Focus on basestations in Cannes

Texas Instruments will feature several new devices for wireless infrastructure basestation manufacturers at the 3GSM World Congress.

Enhancing its already broad portfolio of analogue and digital signal processing products for wireless infrastructure basestation manufacturers, Texas Instruments will feature several new devices spanning the signal chain from the antenna to the network at the 3GSM World Congress These products are expected to enhance infrastructure systems dramatically, ultimately enabling cellular phone users to receive voice and data calls in more ways and with better service

When combined with TI's existing solutions, these new products will improve system efficiency by up to 30%, while lowering the total cost of ownership.

According to industry analyst firm Forward Concepts, global subscriber numbers expanded by 15.5%, and "minutes of use" grew 26% in 2003.

Data intensive applications, such as e-mailing 2-3Mpixel images captured by camera phones, are expected to place a greater burden on the already strapped wireless infrastructure.
