Altair's FourGee-3100/6200 is a 3GPP LTE chipset that supports LTE throughputs of 100Mbps/50Mbps DL/UL respectively. The chipset implements a 20MHz MIMO receiver and is based on a proprietary OsquaredP(TM) Software Defined Radio (SDR) processor [http://www.altair-semi.com/o2p-%E2%80%93-software-defined-radio-sdr-processor ] which offers performance which significantly exceeds traditional communications DSP cores, yet consumes a fraction of the power. The FourGee-3100/6200 [http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ] supports both FDD and TDD variants using single software, and covers any LTE frequency band in the range between 700-2700MHz. The combined chipset offers terminal manufacturers a true global solution.
