Maxim's Highly Integrated Femtocell Transceivers Simplify Compact Radio Designs

Femtocell transceivers support WCDMA and cdma2000® radio bands, accelerate time-to-market, and ease design with market-leading baseband partners.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 7, 2012 — (PRNewswire) — Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX2550–MAX2553 femtocell transceivers for WCDMA (Bands 1 to 6 and 8 to 10) and cdma2000 (Band Class 0, 1, and 10).

The amount of data consumed by smartphones is rising and the increase in data transmission requires more base-station cell sites to receive and transmit the signals. With existing base-station cell sites maxed out on capacity, femtocells are becoming a fast-growing market. Carriers are also moving to femtocell transceivers that reside in a home or office and essentially provide an indoor base station to handle the cellular voice and data needs of an entire dwelling.
