Tarrytown, NY, Suwon, S. Korea, February, 16th, 2009 – Sandbridge announced today that Samsung has partnered with Sandbridge to develop LTE capable platform based on Sandbridge cutting-edge technology. Specifically, Samsung will showcase several LTE devices, including the Sandbridge’s platform at the upcoming Mobile World Congress to be held in Barcelona, February 16-19. LTE communication system is powered by Sandbridge’s SB3500 flexible baseband processor—a multi-core, multi-threaded, dynamically reprogrammable processor. [shameless plug...]
Electronista reports The chip in question is built to be programmable and can be re-coded to support most changes in the LTE standard without needing a new chip. Samsung hasn’t said when it expects phones to start including the chip, though the earliest LTE networks should be ready by early 2010 and will be the first opportunity for phones and cards using LTE to reach the market.
