US : NetLogic Microsystems announced that its knowledge-based processors will be used by Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co., Ltd. for its third-generation (3G) TD-SCDMA network solutions that will be deployed by China Mobile as part of China Mobile’s network expansion program. Datang announced last week that it has successfully won a bid to provide TD-SCDMA network solutions to China Mobile in Shanghai and in the southern city of Guangzhou.

NetLogic Microsystems’ knowledge-based processors are used to accelerate important functions such as quality of service (QoS), billing and packet filtering that in turn enhance the performance of quad-play services for mobile wireless carriers such as China Mobile. By utilizing knowledge-based processors from NetLogic Microsystems, service providers can more efficiently deploy bandwidth-intensive applications and services such as the delivery of high-quality video to mobile handsets, interactive gaming, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and Internet access.

NetLogic Microsystems offers the industry’s highest performance knowledge-based processors with the fastest decision rate, largest database capacity and the lowest power consumption, all of which are important factors that led to their selection by Datang Mobile, the worldwide pioneer in TD-SCDMA technology.

“We are very pleased that our knowledge-based processors are being used by Datang Mobile in their TD-SCDMA network solutions to enable and accelerate quad-play services for China Mobile, the largest mobile service provider with over 240 million subscribers in China,” said James McDermott, director of marketing at NetLogic Microsystems. “The successful penetration of our knowledge-based processors into the mobile wireless market segment, as marked by our first major mobile infrastructure project in China, is a testament to our global market and technology leadership in knowledge-based processing.”

TD-SCDMA, initially developed by Datang Mobile, has been officially recognized as an international standard for 3G mobile communications. The TD-SCDMA technology enables operators to offer subscribers high-quality mobile voice and high-speed data services including Internet access, video streaming and remote access to corporate applications. Operators are also able achieve greater efficiency in managing their networks, a capability that enables them to more rapidly expand network capacity, meet growing demand, and introduce new applications as they become available.
