Monday, chipmaker Intel Corp. announced that its recently formed Intel Mobile Communications group has acquired “most of the assets” of privately held Egyptian communications company SySDSoft, a company whose intellectual property includes LTE Protocol Stacks for user equipment and femtocell premises equipment.
In August 2010, Intel acquired Infineon AG’s wireless group for an estimated $1.4 Billion, giving the chipmaker access to a significant chunk of the global cellular baseband market. Then five months later, Intel announced the creation of its new Mobile Communications Group which would see the company working not only with its traditional x86 processor architecture, but also with the popular 32-bit ARM architecture.
Today’s acquisition of SySDSoft’s assets brings the new Intel unit approximately 100 of the Egyptian company’s electrical engineers and computer scientists, and the solutions in the software stack and physical layer domain, and RF/analog circuits embedded in mobile platforms.
Last October, SySDSoft announced it had completed its LTE user equipment protocol stack performance tests and managed to achieve a simultaneous throughput of 300Mbps downlink/75Mbps uplink.
