Envelope trackning med stort momentum
Adoption af 'Envelope Trackning' teknologier betragtes af mange som nøglen til opbygning af mere effektive trådlåse transmissionssystemen. Ny non-profit organisation etableret (in english).
The OpenET Alliance has just announced that it has been incorporated as a non-profit company to encourage faster adoption of Envelope Tracking (ET) technology to reduce the cost and power consumption of wireless transmissions for cellular, broadcast, military and other wireless communications applications.
It has appointed a board, is accepting members, has published standard interface specifications accessible to any device or terminal manufacturer interested in implementing the technology, and will be launched at an event during Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona.
Nigel Dixon has been named as Chairman of the OpenET Council, a role he takes over from interim chair Simon Whittle. He is joined by Steven Baker as Technical Director.
- Envelope Tracking is attracting growing interest as the most effective wide-band power optimisation technology for wireless transmissions in cellular and other applications. We are currently in discussion with a number of Tier 1 manufacturers in the cellular terminal and base station ecosystems regarding membership, says Nigel Dixon.
The mission of the OpenET Alliance is to promote the development and adoption of ET techniques, components and products for use in the cellular, military and broadcast communications industries.
The Alliance is publishing open, industry-standard Interface specifications for ET implementation in chips and products to reduce development and adoption risk for all ecosystem participants.
The specifications enable ET capability to be added to chipsets for mobile terminals, cellular base stations and other applications with minimal impact on the cost and power consumption of the chipset itself.
Nigel Dixon explaines:
- We aim to be a centre of excellence for Envelope Tracking and other power optimisation techniques in wireless transmission systems, and will play a central role in defining next generation Envelope Tracking and power reduction interface standards.
