AccelerComm Ltd
AccelerComm is a semiconductor chip design IP company, specialising in signal processing acceleration that underpins next-generation wireless communication.
AccelerComm is an exciting semiconductor IP-core start-up that offers solutions to accelerate next generation of wireless communications (4.5G & 5G). Our technology solves the bottleneck that would otherwise limit the speed of next generation wireless communication, namely the error correction decoding that is required to overcome the effects of noise, interference and poor signal strength.
As a fabless non-manufacturing semiconductor IP company, AccelerComm offers a unique technology that solves exactly these problems, both in the cellular and specialist markets, where the former is sub-divided into test equipment, base-station and handset sub-markets. Our current portfolio of patented and patent-pending error correction acceleration technology comprises two unmatched product lines – turbo coding acceleration and polar coding acceleration. Both radically change the design of this error correction processing – for the first time in 20 years in turbo coding acceleration and both first-to-market and best-in-class in polar coding acceleration. Through our unique approach to breaking the data dependencies in the decoding process, our turbo coding implementation enjoy 10 times improvement to data rate and 10 times reduction to delay while maintaining comparable hardware efficiency, energy efficiency and error correction capability, and our polar coding implementation enjoy 10 times hardware efficiency improvement while offering the same error correction capability. All are measured against the current state-of-the-art solutions. In addition, turbo coding technology is backwards compatible with 4G and 4.5G, and our polar coding technology is fully compliant with the recent 5G standards. Unlike conventional error correction decoders, our technology can gracefully scale down to Internet of Things applications and gracefully scale up to base-station applications.
Our products span across three major platforms - FPGA, ASIC and FlexRAN, and we also offer technical support and consultancy services in telecommunication and semiconductor areas.
