picoChip introduced the first LTE femtocell and picocell reference designs, the PC8608 Home eNodeB and PC8618 eNodeB.
Both products can be combined with picoChip's HSPA products and run on the same Wimax platform.
To date, picoChip is the only company shipping femtocell silicon, its customers include Ubiquisys, ipAccess and other tier-one OEMs.
Guillaume d'Eyssautier, picoChip president and CEO, said the new femtocell designs will help customers accelerate development of Wimax and OFDM-based systems at lower costs.
