The BSC9132 is a highly integrated device that targets small cell base station, enterprise VoIP, smart grid control, military/defense and industrial applications. The BSC9132 device combines two e500 cores, built on Power Architecture^® technology, and two StarCore^® SC3850 cores with MAPLE-B2P baseband acceleration processing elements to address the need for a high-performance, low-cost, integrated solution that handles a broad range of specialist DSP functions with complimentary high-performance general purpose processing.

For small cell applications, the BSC9132 supports multimode operation with 20 MHz LTE TDD or FDD, and WCDMA 5 MHz.
