LGS Innovations has selected Texas Instruments' (TI) KeyStoneTM System-on-chip (SoC) for its next-generation portable communications solution

     Texas Instruments and LGS Innovation, a leading provider of advanced networking and communications solutions to the U.S. government, announced a partnership in LGS Innovation's next generation of stationary and portable deployable communications and wireless solutions. By leveraging the combination of TI's Keystone-based systems on chip, including the TCI6630K2L, for improved performance and reduced size and power consumption, LGS Innovations will be able to enhance multiple aspects of performance in the next generation of tactical communications solutions, differentiating their offerings from their competitors.

     "We believe that by adopting TI's wireless architecture platform, the TCI6630K2L will revolutionize solutions for government mission-critical communications needs," "By taking full advantage of the programmability of the TI KeyStone SoC, we were able to reduce time-to-market for our solution with unprecedented performance and flexibility," said Ted Fidder, CTO of advanced research and technology at LGS Innovations.

     By combining TI's KeyStone SoC with the Multi-core Software Development Kit (MCSDK) and RF Software Development Kit (RFSDK), LGS Innovations was able to develop a complete system for government users, including CDMA, GSM, WCDMA, 3G, 4G, CDMA, CDMA, and RFSDK for government users. WiMax and Wi-Fi features. TI's wireless architecture SoC features the fastest dual-ARM ® Cortex®-A15 processor and TI's fixed-point and floating-point TMS320C66x digital signal processor (DSP) cores as part of TI's efficient KeyStone SoC architecture. At the same time, the RFSDK also provides integrated RF control functions, which greatly improves efficiency.

     "We are very excited to be working with LGS Innovation on the next generation of portable and fixed communications solutions," Robert Ferguson, Marketing Director and business manager for TI's Communications Processors division, said, "LGS Innovation is a leading provider of innovative products and solutions to government users and has a strong reputation for helping customers solve their most complex problems. Our KeyStone SoC product will enable LGS Innovations to do even better in this area."
