MIPS Technologies and SySDSoft Announce First LTE Protocol Stack on Android™ Platforms

Source: SysDSoft press release
MIPS Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumer, home networking, wireless, communications and business applications, and SySDSoft Inc., a leading supplier of Mobile WiMAX and LTE embedded software solutions for 4G, today announced the industry’s first LTE protocol stack ported to the Android™ platform. The companies also shared benchmark results of the SySDSoft LTE protocol stack running on MIPS-Based™ Android and Linux platforms, achieving nearly theoretical maximum CAT4 data throughput with small packet sizes, low CPU operating frequency and low power. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the MIPS® architecture for 4G mobile handsets. With higher upload/download throughput and similar or better performance compared to the competitive solution running at 500MHz, these are believed to be the highest-performance results for such small packet sizes running on a 350MHz core.
