Infineon Technologies announced what the company claims to be the world's first single-chip CAT-iq/DECT wireless engine for basestations, dubbed COSIC (Cordless Single Chip)-Modem. The IC integrates the baseband processor, transceiver and power amplifier in a monolithic CMOS single chip for high-quality cordless IP telephony. In combination with Infineon's broadband CPE (customer-premises equipment) SoCs (Systems-on-Chips) Danube for ADSL2/ 2+, Twinpass for Ethernet and VINAX-VE for VDSL2, the IC handles up to six handsets in high-definition sound quality at the same time and offers access to data applications as described in the CAT-iq roadmap. With backward compatibility to DECT/DECT 6.0, it enables an optimised system design for CAT-iq cordless basestations by delegating the performing of the DECT software stack to the CPE SoC and focuses on the basic wireless-communication tasks itself. This partitioning eliminates the external memory required for the CAT-iq part in a base station and reduces at least 40% of the CAT-iq subsystem BOM. As all applications are directly implemented on the memory of CPE SoCs, this architecture achieves flexible resource management and remote feature update for CPE vendors and service providers of both voice and data applications. The IC supports adjustable radio levels for emission control.
