April 13, 2010 - C-motech, a leading provider of 3G and 4G Modems, and Beceem, a leading provider of 4G chips, today announced the launch of C-motech’s new 4G-WiMAX/3G-EVDO dual-mode dongle development, based on Beceem’s BCSM350 chip. The new dual-mode dongle will be the third generation of C-motech dual-mode products based on Beceem’s 4G-WiMAX semiconductor solutions. The BCSM350 offers session continuity and connection handover, which is typically viewed as the second most important user feature behind high performance. The BCSM350 combines its “Twin Turbo” uplink capability with seamless session continuity for the 4G-to-3G handover, which enables C-motech to deliver a highly advanced multi-mode modem solution.

“C-motech has developed and launched the original 4G-WiMAX/3G-EVDO dual-mode product, and -- in working with C-motech -- we have built key know how when it comes to improving the user experience during handoff between the 4G and 3G networks. Our new BCMS350 chip delivers a seamless hand-over solution,” said Dave Carroll, vice president of sales for Beceem Communications. “It also includes our Twin Turbo uplink to give C-motech’s new dual-mode modems an extremely high performance uplink.”

“We are 4G-WiMAX dual-mode pioneers, and we could not have achieved our success without the close collaboration with Beceem,” said Michael Choi, director of sales and marketing at C-motech. “In adopting Beceem’s new BCSM350 chip for our next generation dual-mode modem, we know that we have the right 4G chip partner to extend our leadership in the dual-mode product space.”
