RadioScape snaps up UK dsp firm SystolixHarry YeatesLondon-based software firm RadioScape has acquired Systolix, a UK digital signal processing (DSP) specialist.
Systolix develops and licenses systems based on its PulseDSP processor array architecture. RadioScape will use this DSP expertise to expand the scope of its intellectual property for development of 3G wireless baseband systems.
"PulseDSP gives us the ability to address the programmable, efficient hardware performance that these... next-generation, data-centric wireless... systems need," said Gavin Ferris, RadioScape's chief technical officer.
The company's core technology is its communication virtual machine (CVM), embedded runtime software for layer one baseband processing, which it offers under license.
RadioScape attracted £15.6m in venture capital backing last December. According to managing director Peter Florence, all ten of Systolix's engineering and support staff have been retained, taking RadioScape's total staff to 85.
