Following on yesterday’s Infineon SDR-20 socket win, today Hughes Network Systems, LLC announced they are supplying the software for the project.
The press release states: This software will enable the GMR1-3G satellite air interface standard to run side-by-side with cellular standards in a commercially available, software-defined radio (SDR) chipset being developed for SkyTerra and TerreStar Networks by Infineon Technologies AG.
With the software being developed by Hughes, a single SDR chip solution can be readily programmed to operate on a variety of cellular standards such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, and HSUPA, while also providing satellite connectivity via the global GMR1-3G standard.
