Ubiquisys to Integrate Percello's Silicon into Femtocells

Ubiquisys has agreed to integrate silicon from Percello, a start-up based in Israel, into its next gen femtocell products. Percello will become a strategic supplier to Ubiquisys, opening up a new semiconductor supply channel for the company.


Percello said it has been working with Ubiquisys since January 2008 to ensure that their low-cost high-performance baseband processor fully supports the advanced functionality of the ZoneGate femtocell. These advanced functions, such as the cognitive radio technology that provides smart interference management, are a pre-requisite for commercial mass deployment.


Percello's first chip, PRC6000 is a worldwide SoC (System on a Chip) solution supporting all femtocell backhauling functions such as timing, security and others. PRC6000 is compliant to 3GPP Rel 7 baseline and is capable of delivering 21.6Mbps downlink and 5.76 Mbps uplink. http://www.percello.com
