Marvell: In the first year of 4G, we are already on the road

On December 4, 2013, it is destined to become a memorable point in the development of China's mobile communications industry. Today, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China officially issued the fourth-generation mobile communication business license, or 4G license, to China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom. As one of the forerunners in the 4G era, Marvell has launched advanced LTE chip solutions, and launched the first batch of smart phones, MiFi and other LTE products in cooperation with partners. Facing the opportunities and challenges brought about by 4G, Marvell is ready.

4G first year, a new starting point

At present, China is already the world's largest smartphone market. Although the global telecommunications equipment market showed an overall contraction in 2012, it achieved growth in 2013 with the rapid development of the Chinese market. It is not difficult to see that the Chinese telecommunications equipment market will lead the development trajectory of the global market. Today, China, which stands at the new starting point of 4G, has once again become the focus of global telecommunications industry.

For participants and promoters of China's TD-LTE industry like Marvell, it is a great commendation to witness the arrival of the 4G era. The development of TD-LTE technology has changed the situation dominated by overseas companies like the GSM, WCDMA and FDD-LTE systems, eliminating geographical and cultural inconveniences, allowing Chinese manufacturers to accumulate greater advantages in future competition. China's mobile communications industry has brought unprecedented opportunities. With the right time and place of technology and market, 4G has also gathered people and the entire Chinese communications industry. Forward-thinking industry players represented by Marvell and its partners have already begun to lay out the 4G market, and have launched mature and leading solutions with strong technical strength to support the future growth of the 4G market. At the level of industrial decision-making, planners are also ambitious, and the craze to build the world's largest 4G network has swept the country in recent years. China Mobile has invested a total of 41.7 billion yuan this year to build approximately 200,000 TD-LTE base stations and plans to expand the coverage of TD-LTE cities to more than 300. At the same time, China-led TD-LTE technology has gone overseas. According to the latest data from the GSA agency, 222 commercial LTE networks have been established in 83 countries around the world, of which 23 are commercial TD-LTE networks. The industry's top chip and terminal manufacturers have joined the TD-LTE market, which also illustrates the huge growth potential and unlimited future of this market.

Forerunner of the 4G era

As the world's leading chip company, Marvell has been involved in the Chinese market since the 3G era, and played a key role in the development of the TD industry. In 2008, Marvell brought the best chip development technology and chip integration technology to the TD industry, launched the first highly integrated single-chip platform for smartphones, and in 2011 promoted the great development of the entire TD smartphone industry. TD-SCDMA, led by China, has brought a rare opportunity for growth in China's mobile communications industry. It has prepared China for the integration of the industrial chain for TD-LTE and laid a solid foundation for the arrival of the 4G era.

In the 4G era, Marvell is also in the forefront of the industry, and has introduced leading solutions in both LTE modem and LTE single-chip processor platforms. In February 2012, Marvell launched the industry ’s first multi-mode modem chip PXA1802 that supports the LTE standard, supports Category 4, and can bring consumers a very fast mobile Internet experience with a downlink speed of up to 150Mbps. Recently, a number of LTE terminals such as Cool 8736 LTE smartphones and MiFi using PXA1802 modem have passed the storage test of China Mobile; in addition, they have obtained the first domestic TD-LTE mobile network access certificate issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of ZTE ’s flagship The model U9815 is also equipped with the Marvell PXA1802 chip, which has also passed the storage test of China Mobile.

Multi-mode is the future trend of TD-LTE terminal chips due to operators' multi-network operation and international roaming needs. Currently, Marvell maintains its lead in supporting five-mode single-chip. In May 2013, Marvell launched the PXA1088 LTE chip, which is the industry ’s first quad-core “5-mode 13-band” Category 4 LTE single-chip solution for the mass market, providing similar products to world-class OEMs and operators The best performance in the world will further shorten the time to market of smart terminal products such as mobile phones and tablet computers. In the future, the application of Marvell LTE chip products will not only be limited to the Chinese market, but also expand overseas.

High-quality voice services will be the focus of operator competition in the 4G era. Marvell maintains its leading position in the field of 4G voice solutions and fully supports various 4G voice solutions such as dual connectivity, CSFB and VoLTE / SRVCC. In June 2013, Marvell and ZTE cooperated to realize the world's first VoLTE voice call based on the TD-LTE commercial end-to-end system. The realization of this service marks the industry's breakthrough progress in the process of TD-LTE voice solutions . In the future, Marvell will support VoLTE in all LTE products. With the continuous improvement of LTE network coverage and the maturity of 4G terminal technology supporting VoLTE function, Marvell's advantages in TD-LTE voice solutions will become more and more obvious.

Challenges and future

In addition to opportunities, the 4G era has also brought new challenges, whether in network deployment or terminal and chip design. In the initial stage of 4G network commercial use, there are relatively few smart terminals supporting the TD-LTE standard, and the options available to consumers are very limited. The lack of terminals will become a bottleneck for the healthy development of 4G for a period of time. In addition, since 4G networks need to coexist with 2G and 3G networks, the chip must support different modes and frequency bands, which also poses great challenges and more issues for terminal design, such as how to simplify and highly integrate complex radio frequency parts. Support more frequency bands with fewer devices, how to plan the spectrum better, and how to reduce the cost of the terminal. This also puts forward higher requirements for terminal design and manufacturers than 2G and 3G terminals in the past. The maturity of TD-LTE is inseparable from the joint efforts of the entire industry chain. Marvell and its partners will continue to meet these challenges as industry promoters.

From the 3G era to the 4G era, Marvell and the entire China TD industry chain have experienced common growth, overcome many challenges with strong technical strength and innovative spirit, and practice the long-term commitment to the Chinese market; in the future, as the TD-LTE field Leading manufacturer, Marvell will continue to develop and invest in new technologies and new products, work with partners to launch more high-performance, low-cost, globally applicable products, and promote the continuous growth of China's 4G market with advanced technologies and solutions . In this long-distance run of China's 4G industry, Marvell is already on the road.
