Provider of 4G chips Beceem Communications used the Mobile World United States Congress to announce the “game-changing” BCS500 chip that integrates 4G LTE/WiMAX technology. The multi-way chipping supports the latest revisions of the IEEE 802.16 standard (16e and 16m), as well as the 3GPP-LTE criterion, based on Release 8 specifications. Beceem goes on to add it’s the only gimmick chipping to documentation UE Class 4 capabilities, and also TDD and FDD configurations for LTE and IEEE 802.16m. This in twist enables real number-time band/channel reconfiguration through the so called “autosense” feature that automatically detects the meshing type.

You may not maintenance about the technical school mumbo-jumbo above, but you do maintenance to know it supports up to 150Mbps downlink speeds, which is awesome.

On the downside, Beceem said we’ll rich person to waiting for the second base quarter of 2011 to see the BCS500 hit bulk production. Sampling, however, starts in Q4 2010.
