GCT Semiconductor Powers NEC Platforms
4G Mobile Router for UQ Communications
San Jose, CA – November 25, 2014 – GCT® Semiconductor, a leading designer and supplier of advanced 4G mobile semiconductor solutions, today announced that its advanced LTE chip GDM7243M powers the new 4G LTE mobile router developed by NEC Platforms (NECPF) and recently launched by UQ Communications (UQ) in Japan. The mobile router is optimized for use on UQ’s WiMAX2+ network, which is based on TDD-LTE technology. GCT’s multi-mode chip GDM7243M supports Category 4 FDD/TDD-LTE and was fully certified by KDDI in July 2014. GDM7243M offers lower power consumption and BOM compared to a multi-chip solution.
“Operators such as UQ are looking to leverage their existing networks by deploying additional technologies such as LTE,” says Alex Sum, vice president of sales and marketing at GCT Semiconductor, Inc. “We are pleased to be offering a certified chipset solution that can support FDD/TDD-LTE, enabling wireless carriers to support new LTE devices that complement their existing networks.”
