Increasing demands are being placed upon scarce spectrum resource. Provision of bandwidth-hungry applications, such as video and multi-media services, requires more efficient use of this spectrum. Maximising the return from costly network deployments, requires that capacity is optimised.

Systems4Silicon offers its customers a route to the multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) solutions that exploit the previously untapped resource in wireless communications: the spatial domain. These bring the benefits of enhanced robustness and data throughput, drawing upon an in-depth understanding of the fundamental processes which contribute to the capacity of a MIMO wireless communications channel. Systems4Silicon offers its customers expertise in the most advanced decoding algorithms for MIMO communications, maximising communications system performance.

Deployment of Systems4Silicon MIMO technology can provide:

• Improved communications robustness and reliability to reduce re-transmissions of corrupted data packets
• Increased data throughput with no expansion of spectrum resource to support bandwidth-hungry applications
• Enhanced range to reduce the number of base-stations for efficient network coverage

Bringing advanced MIMO spatial processing concepts to next generation wireless communications is a significant technical challenge. Systems4Silicon has experience developing real-time MIMO solutions for state-of-the-art wireless communications systems, including Wi-Fi (802.11n) and WiMAX (802.16e). We offer the know-how for developing solutions from algorithm design through to implementation on a range of technologies, including FPGA and bespoke devices.
