Cavium, a provider of semiconductor products, has introduced a software stack update that adds support for TD-LTE on its Octeon Fusion suite of SoCs (System-on-Chip).

Cavium\'s TD-LTE software stack option allows small cell manufacturers to deliver both FDD and TDD-enabled products using the same Octeon Fusion processors. The Octeon Fusion TD-LTE stack enhancement initially targets 3GPP Release 9, supports up to 128 simultaneous users and a 20MHz channel bandwidth. This functionality aligns with the requirements specified for the dense urban deployment market segment.
