Infineon Technologies and Nokia have announced a cooperation to develop advanced radio frequency transceiver solutions. The agreement covers a non-exclusive collaboration to ensure the compatibility and interworking of Nokia’s advanced licensable baseband modem technologies and Infineon’s RF solutions. Nokia and Infineon will work together to ensure that current and future generations of Nokia’s licensable modem designs work seamlessly with Infineon’s RF transceiver solutions, giving the industry access to complete modem solutions for HSPA (high speed packet access) through LTE (long term evolution). The collaboration involves teams from both companies working on the architectural and system challenges to ensure seamless interoperability and compatibility. Facilitated by this cooperation, both companies will jointly drive the interface standardisation for LTE-advanced, enabling data rates of up to 1Gbit/s.
