CommAgility AMC-3C87F-GPS Highlights

• Three industry-standard CPRI/OBSAI optical SFP interfaces support direct connections to Remote Radio Heads for full three sector operation without chaining connections
• Three Texas Instruments TCI6487 multicore DSPs running at 1 or 1.2 GHz, as well as a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA
• The integrated GPS receiver provides base station timing synchronisation — no need for an external GPS receiver
• Multiple 10 Gbps Serial RapidIO and Gigabit Ethernet backplane connections are included to provide fast and reliable I/O interconnects for larger systems
• Tested with WiMAX PHY software from Tata Elxsi and remote radio heads from AxisNT — this reduces system development costs and helps cut time to market for OEMs
