Low Cost 4G Software Programmed Chip from Sandbridge

Sandbridge Technologies released the SB3500 flexible baseband processor which
facilitates the implementation of 4G mobile handsets entirely in software.

Capable of operating any radio protocol required for a common (universal)
multi-mode, multi-function mobile platform, the SB3500 meets critical power
consumption specifications of wireless carriers and significantly reduces
time-to-market and overall development costs for OEMs.

The SB3500 is the world's most flexible, cost-efficient and
power-efficient universal baseband processor. Its architectural innovations
provide scalable performance for any radio protocol in use today or in
development for the future -- including LTE, HSPA, 3G WiMAX, Wi-Fi, DVB-H,
GPS, and all multimedia formats.

Implemented in 65nm, the SB3500 is currently being sampled to select
top-tier customers who are developing next generation handsets exclusive of
traditional fixed function processors.

By enabling 100% flexibility for die size re-use, Sandbridge's technology
delivers the lowest cost platform for a broad range of applications addressing
the rapidly growing smart wireless device marketplace.

Furthermore, the SB3500 provides third-party application developers with a
common platform based entirely on the C programming language -- long a
standard within the development community -- further expediting the
development and rapid distribution of new features and functions.

The commercial release of the SB3500 signifies the beginning of a new
wireless era marked by common, stable platforms for consumer use and
application development. The software-based design of the SB3500 completely
alters the landscape of the mobile industry by accelerating the cost efficient
development and distribution of faster, more flexible ultra-mobile-devices
with the capacity for virtually unlimited communications protocols and
multimedia applications. For OEMs and carriers, this means significant cost
and time-to-market reductions. For consumers, it means high value Smartphones
at mass market pricing.
