Ensigma Series5 radio processors for high performance connectivityWith Imagination Blog - Narayanan Raman, ImaginationDec. 01, 2015 |
Since their release, the Ensigma Series4 family of Radio Processing Units (RPUs) has been the powerhouse for high-performance connectivity standards such as 802.11ac 2×2 and 802.11n 4×4 as well as many TV and radio broadcast standards supported by Imagination. Multiple customers have licensed these RPUs to integrate more (or all) high-performance connectivity on-chip; examples include S2-Tek, Toshiba, Elvees, Rockchip, and others.
However, the fast-growing demand for higher data rates driven by bandwidth-hungry applications such as video streaming together with the adoption of more advanced standards and configurations (e.g. 802.11ac 4×4, 8×8 or 802.11ax) requires radio processors with higher scalability, programmability and debug capabilities.
To address these requirements, we are introducing a new generation of multi-standard radio processors called the Ensigma Series5 family.
