Today, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (Nasdaq: NXPI) announced thatComba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited (Hong Kong stock code: 2342) has selected NXP high speedconverters (HSC) for use in its digital repeater products. Comba, a leading wireless enhancementsolutions provider, will be using NXP digital-to-analog converters (DAC) in the transmitter of its digitalcellular repeaters.
Digital repeaters are used in large indoor and outdoor spaces such as high-rise buildings, shopping malls,tunnels and stadiums to strengthen cellular phone signals, enabling mobile network operators to extendvoice and data services to areas that would otherwise not have coverage. Comba’s digital RF repeatersare particularly well suited for dense urban environments, and have proven popular with wireless networkowners and operators as a cost-effective solution for optimizing network performance. Using advanceddigital signal processing technologies, Comba’s digital repeaters support features such as Uplink NoiseControl (UNC) and Antenna Feedback Stabilization (AFS), which significantly reduce interference as wellas deployment time.
"We appreciate the support NXP has provided to Comba’s development team, and look forward tocontinuing the productive relationship we've established with the NXP high speed converter business,"said Mr. David Luo, director of R&D, wireless department, Comba Telecom Systems.
“NXP is very happy to be working with Comba, providing our state-of-the art high speed data converters,
