Qualcomm has started sampling its Femtocell Station Modem FSM9xxx-series chipsets. The FSM family of products supports the latest 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards with an enhanced 1GHz microprocessor core, as well as radio frequency and power management capabilities. 

The first commercial products based on the FSM9xxx -series chipsets are expected to become available by the end of 2010.

“The steady growth of mobile applications and smartphones are creating an ever increasing demand for more broadband,” said Cristiano Amon, senior vice president of the cellular product group for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. 

“Products based on our FSM chipsets can help operators meet this demand using their current networks and improve overall customer satisfaction. We are excited about working with equipment manufacturers to bring the industry’s most compelling femtocell products to market,” further adds Cristiano Amon.

Qualcomm’s FSM platform includes configurable solutions that support the broadband peak data rates of 3GPP HSPA+, as well as CDMA2000® 1X, EV-DO Rev. A and EV-DO Rev. B.
