Datang Mobile (DTM), a Chinese multinational telecommunications equipment company headquartered in Beijing, has chosen Broadcom\'s dual-mode TD-SCDMA/TD-LTE system-on-chip (SoC) to develop a new family of enterprise and residential small cell solutions, LteWorld reports. Broadcom\'s advanced small cell SoCs provide high-performance architecture for Datang Mobile to meet growing demand for high-performance data services in China and extend its 4G TD-LTE network deployment.

Key features of Datang Mobile enterprise and residential small cell solutions include support of multi-mode operations simultaneously, including TD-SCDMA, TD-LTE and Wi-Fi, which can meet access demands of 3G/4G/Wi-Fi users. This collaboration plays an important role in DTM’s future TD-LTE expanding network deployments by providing a smooth migration path from 3G TDSCDMA to 4G TD-LTE.

Broadcom’s BCM617xx Series offers concurrent support for the 4G LTE 20 MHz channel with full 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink. It addresses enterprise/residential segments and supports TDD/FDD LTE, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA modes. Broadcom\'s BCM617xx Series for metropolitan, enterprise and residential TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE multi-mode small cell networks are currently in production. Datang Mobile expects to ship enterprise and residential small cell solutions based on Broadcom\'s dual-mode 3G TD-SCDMA/4G TD-LTE SoC in 2014.

Broadcom is currently demonstrating the latest small cell solutions at the Mobile World Congress.
