RF Leadership with i.300-30 .
The i.300-30 platform supports full non-compressed mode, up to three RF bands on WCDMA and four bands on GSM, including WCDMA operation on 850 MHz for U.S. or 800 MHz for Japan and 1900 MHz U.S. PCS. In addition, the platform supports 3.6 Mbps HSDPA WCDMA with a 5-code, 16-QAM HSDPA channel and a 384-Kbps transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) circuit switched channel. The supported
high-speed hardware assist searcher greatly improves standby battery life. Finally, it supports Class 10 (Class 12 hardware) EDGE GPRS with the transceiver using Freescale’s revolutionary polar architecture.

Components and Enhancers
At the heart of the i.300-30 platform is a set of highly integrated, low-power, high-performance integrated circuits (ICs) and a communications engine. The i.300-30 platform helps wireless products fully meet the WCDMA standard.
Baseband Processor
Designed to get products to market ahead of the 3G pack, the i.300-30 platform leverages Freescale’s industry-leading baseband expertise and is the first to integrate the advanced processing power of a SC140e digital signal processor (DSP) based on StarCore technology and an ARM11™ applications processor on CMOS90 technology. This hybrid architecture supports both dual and single core modems with the possibility of executing DSP code from external memory.
