Nujira, a provider of RF technology for power amplifiers, launched what it calls the Coolteq-I.

Nujira said Coolteq-I takes the company's High Accuracy Tracking (HAT) technology from the base station and puts it in the terminal. The technology allows the creation of an efficient wideband RF front end, which covers three to five times the bandwidth of standard designs with up to double the efficiency.

Nujiro said that with Coolteq-I only two power amplifiers are needed to design a front end covering all of the fourteen different frequency bands defined by the 3GPP for LTE and all of the operating modes (GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSUPA and LTE).

CEO Tim Haynes said the announcement was an industry first in power efficiency and savings - delivering up to a 50% reduction in cost and power consumption, thereby doubling the battery life of a 4G terminal RF front end when compared with technologies in use today.

CSR launched its new embedded wireless software: CSR Synergy, a milestone in CSR's Connectivity Centre strategy.

CSR said it has introduced a major new approach to wireless system software, offering overarching support for all technologies in its Connectivity Centre in a single, cohesive package.

Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, Wi-Fi, UWB, eGPS, NFC, audio-DSP functions and FM transceiver are all to be supported within the single software environment. CSR Synergy takes an overall systems approach to connectivity, making integration easier and reducing time-to-market for designers looking to implement single or multiple wireless technologies. Synergy offers performance improvements in wireless technology interoperability and enables advanced new end-user use-cases.

CSR also launched its UniFi UF6000 range of Wi-Fi chips, the world's smallest and lowest-cost range of 802.11n compatible devices to add to its Connectivity Centre line-up. At less than 16mm-sq of silicon, the UniFi UF6000 devices are designed as embedded Wi-Fi products making them the lowest cost way of adding an 802.11n enabled Wi-Fi to mobile devices.

As more smart and feature-phones start to include Wi-Fi, CSR said it has released the range to provide manufacturers with the lowest cost route to integrate Wi-Fi into handsets without compromising on performance or PCB space. The UF6000 range supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n, and follows on from CSR's successful UniFi range of Wi-Fi chips. By achieving lower cost points for Wi-Fi integration, Wi-Fi can be integrated into mainstream handsets and portable devices where previously the cost was prohibitive.
