The EE Times has a nice article on Cognovo.
In November 2009, shortly after ARM (Cambridge, England) said it would close its DSP development operation in Heverlee, Belgium, Cognovo took on approximately half ARM’s Belgian contigent, according to a local report. In addition, ARM provided the vector signal processing IP developed there to form the hardware component for Cognovo’s software defined modem, in return for an equity stake.
Cognovo argues that future mobile communications terminal will have to support multiple wireless technologies and standards including both new and legacy standards such as LTE, HSPA+, EDGE, GPRS, GSM, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000, IS-95, Bluetooth, WiFi, WiMax, GPS. As a result reconfigurable architectures are becoming mandatory, Cognovo argues.
