US : Mindspeed Technologies announced that Datang Mobile is shipping Mindspeed’s OptiPHY ATM packet-over-SONET (POS) PHY in its 3G wireless base stations.

Datang Mobile is a leading communications equipment company in China dedicated to developing products for 3G networks based on time division - synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA). TD-SCDMA is one of the 3G mobile communications standards in China and construction of large-scale trial networks is currently underway in 10 cities, including Beijing, in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games.

Datang Mobile’s base station product range includes Micro Node B and Macro Node B based on ATM which allows a smooth migration to IP. Datang Mobile solutions can be deployed in dense urban areas as well as suburban and rural areas. Node B advantages include high integration, low power consumption and large capacity for network buildout.

"Mindspeed is committed to providing industry leading solutions for 3G wireless backhaul applications with a full range of physical layer and traffic management products that support both ATM and IP," said Taqi Mohiuddin, executive director of marketing for Mindspeed.

The OptiPHY CX2970x family implements one, two or four-channel ATM and POS/SDH processing. Each device has clock and data recovery allowing superior jitter performance. Mindspeed’s Telecom Application Package (TAP) software is available for the CX2970x family of devices, and is characterized by a well-defined application programming interface (API) that allows easy integration with higher-level application software and shortens the development cycle increasing time-to-market.
