Why Symm needs to partner with Analog devices?
ADI has blackfin DSP, which has tremendous advantage to store complex analog frequencies in one bit stream. Then using tuned tank circuits, data streams can be separated out.
Analog and digital mixed signals need very simple DSP to be servers and not Intel or AMD, ALU and FPU architecture.
Symm's contribution will be tank circuits(hard or soft) to do QAM, or cdma, or tdma, or any other codecs including wcdma or gsm for wireless. Also, voip Docsis codecs, including any analog/digital mixed signal codecs.
Over sampling noise reduction, reduced bandwidth repeated words data compression are all analog to digital or digital to analog conversions. Symm should specialize in complex signals data transmission. Targeted customers are telcos, Sunw, Nt, Intel, Cisco and Microsoft in many layers of internet communication. |
