France Telecom has granted Broadcom a worldwide license to its Turbo Code patents for use in Broadcom's satellite applications. Broadcom's advanced single-chip satellite receiver is the first commercial chip supporting (8PSK) modulation and turbo code forward error correction (FEC). It allows satellite service providers to increase the information throughput by 35% in a given bandwidth or radio frequency link with no additional power requirements.
France Telecom's Turbo Codes technology has been adopted into the W-CDMA, CDMA2000, and DVB-RCS standards. http://www.spectralicensing.comhttp://www.turbocodes.info/
