Award-winning LSI SP2600 multicore media processors to power
next-generation wireless infrastructure MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today
announced that the LSI(TM) StarPro SP2600 family of multicore media
processors has been selected by ZTE Corporation (HK: 0763, SHE:
000063), a leading global network and telecommunications equipment
supplier, for integration into their next-generation wireless
platform. ZTE chose the SP2600 because it will enable them to
develop their next-generation media gateway with minimum risk, cost
and time to market. LSI StarPro multicore media processors are
designed to meet the increasingly stringent demands of high-density
wireless infrastructure applications. Scalable to 12 DSP cores per
SoC, the SP2600 family is designed to cost effectively meet the
demands of high-density voice and video processing. The SP2600
provides a single platform for a wide range of telecommunications
applications from entry-level multi-service business gateways
through wireless carrier-class media gateways. "ZTE supplies
leading-edge wireless equipment that requires high-performance,
cost-sensitive solutions," said Mr. Liu Jianye, CTO of Core Network
Products, ZTE Corporation. "LSI StarPro media processors provide
industry-leading features, low power and cost per channel." All LSI
StarPro media processors support multiple DSP cores, embedded CPUs
and co-processing engines. In addition, LSI developed a custom
version of its modular media processing software for ZTE that
allowed them to integrate the SP2600 into their existing
architecture with minimal changes to the rest of the system.
"Tomorrow's enriched wireless traffic will require the power of
multicore media processing technology," said Charlie Kawwas, vice
president of marketing, Networking Components Division, LSI. "ZTE's
selection of the LSI StarPro family reinforces our position as the
global leader in media processor price-performance, channel density
and energy consumption." In May, the StarPro SP2612 media processor
was selected as the 2009 winner of the Network Products Guide Award
in the Best Integrated Circuits category. For more information,
