Sunnyvale, CA—May 7, 2012—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX2550–MAX2553 femtocell transceivers for WCDMA (Bands 1 to 6 and 8 to 10) and cdma2000 (Band Class 0, 1, and 10).
The amount of data consumed by smartphones is rising and the increase in data transmission requires more base-station cell sites to receive and transmit the signals. With existing base-station cell sites maxed out on capacity, femtocells are becoming a fast-growing market. Carriers are also moving to femtocell transceivers that reside in a home or office and essentially provide an indoor base station … Read More → "Maxim’s Highly Integrated Femtocell Transceivers Simplify Compact Radio Designs"
