Featured Projects
Our researchers engage in a wide variety of exciting and technically challenging projects. Each project pushes the envelope of what is possible today paving the way for the products of tomorrow. Explore a project, learn what it’s about, follow its progress, and imagine the possibilities. There are even a few "stealth projects" we cannot talk about, but are even more exciting.
-
Long Term Evolution
Long Term Evolution or LTE is a highly optimized and flexible mobile broadband OFDMA system that leverages new and wider bandwidth up to 20 MHz. It complements existing 3G networks, with well defined handover procedures between LTE and 3G.
-
HD VoIP
The HD VoIP team has been working to enable end-to-end high fidelity voice communication for both wireless and enterprise applications by unifying technologies such as VoIP, wideband vocoders, advanced noise cancelling and wireless interoperability with the enterprise domain.
