In addition to the earlier released the OBSAI RP3-01 IP block Elektrobit announces now the availability of the CPRI IP block. The IP blocks are available for WiMAX and WCDMA technologies. OBSAI and CPRI interfaces provide interoperability between different vendor units. Elektrobit's advanced CPRI IP technology blocks enable cost savings and shorter design time for telecom CPRI compliant base station designs.
