DesignArt Intros Mobile Base Station SoC Family

DesignArt Networks, a provider of single-chip 4G base station SoCs, has announced the first two members of its next-generation DAN3000 open SoC family. With the DAN3400 and DAN3100 SoCs, DesignArt provides system vendors with a complete end-to-end development framework for any type of base station product, enabling single-SoC solutions ranging from picocell access points to large-scale distributed MacroBTS applications.

“With these new SoCs, DesignArt enables tremendous cost-savings for vendors targeting any kind of mobile 2G, 3G, or 4G technology," said Oz Barak, DesignArt Networks CEO, in a statement.

The DAN3400 is the flagship SoC of DesignArt’s new technology platform. The patented multi-layer, multi-core architecture of the DAN3400 is comprised of two completely software-defined high-performance sub-systems – an embedded base station and a digital front-end design for high-output RF applications.

The DAN3100 offers a targeted solution for digital radio designs - multi-carrier, multi-mode remote radio head (RRH) products.
