The companies will work together to deliver a standalone Long Term Evolution (LTE) solution. Cavium's end-to-end live LTE demonstration using commercial LTE UE client and OCTEON Fusion SoC technology can be seen in Hall 2 on Cavium's booth #2B05 and Radisys' wireless infrastructure and small cell experts will be available to discuss Trillium in Hall 1, Booth #1F01 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, 27 February to 1 March.

Radisys' 3GPP-compliant Trillium LTE TOTALeNodeB software provides TEMs with a complete, integrated LTE eNodeB that meets the unique requirements of network equipment providers. It includes the Trillium LTE eNodeB application, radio resource management (RRM), radio environment monitoring (REM), self-organizing network (SON), schedulers and all of the Trillium protocol layers stretch from all variations of small cells up to macro cells. When integrated with OCTEON Fusion SoC and the FemtoForum API (FAPI) compliant PHY layer of Cavium's FusionStack software, it provides joint customers of Cavium and Radisys a complete LTE eNodeB solution.

"Radisys has a successful track record providing mobile infrastructure technology and services to the world's leading telecommunication equipment manufacturers," said YJ Kim, General Manager, Infrastructure Products Group at Cavium, Inc.
