Digital Signal Processors Push Design, Performance Envelope

摘要

Next-generation signal processor technology for wireless communications is the focus of a unique research center. The Atlanta-based StarCore Technology Center combines the pooled assets of Motorola Incorporated's semiconductor products sector and Lucent Technologies' microelectronics group. StarCore and other such alliances are byproducts of the competition and increased momentum of the Internet age as firms join together to leverage resources and control segments of the market. The telecommunications industry is working overtime to meet worldwide demands for more mobile, connected tools and services.
