The ASOCS ModemX architecture utilizes a heterogeneous, interconnected grid of domain-specific Algorithmic Processing Pnits (“APU’s”) controlled by an innovative two level control system that optimizes power consumption, while still retaining full programmability. The result is a silicon-based communication machine, implementing a unique mathematical model, capable of modeling existing and yet-to-be-defined Modem and MAC specifications.
While existing technologies use multiple chips, each with their particular hardware, firmware and software systems, ModemX employs a universal, software programmable system that can perform all the existing functions and be adapted to new emerging standards and functions, all in a simple, elegant, smaller and less power-hungry configuration.
Traditional attempts to provide software-driven modem solutions have been costly, have entailed substantial power consumption penalties, or allowed only a limited upgrade path and no flexibility for the end device manufactures. In contrast, the ModemX architecture enables mobile terminals to be configured in the field, updated on the fly, and upgraded to new communication technologies, all in a timely and cost-effective manner.
