Marvell PXA1802

Ultimate TD-LTE/TD-HSPA+/EDGE Modem for TD Networks

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Marvell® PXA1802 LTE thin-modem combines Marvell’s leading silicon and cellular expertise to provide the state-
of-arts mobile broadband connectivity for multitude of consumer devices, such as, high-performance, low-power
smartphones, tablet devices, mobile hotspot devices, and laptops. These devices can be used worldwide since they
support global access configurations for TDD-LTE (Time-Division Duplex-Long-Term Evolution), FDD-LTE (Frequency
Division Duplex-Long-Term Evolution), TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) and EGPRS
(Enhanced GPRS). Featuring 40 nanometer (nm) technology, the Marvell PXA1802 integrates all 2G, 3G and 4G mobile
broadband modem technologies on a single chip that is fully backward compatible, yet supports current China TD-
SCDMA networks and next-generation TDD/FDD networks.

The Marvell PXA1802 is the industry’s first LTE modem chipset to support next-generation LTE standards with Category
4 150Mbps (megabits-per-second) downlink throughput and Release 8 TD-SCDMA HSPA+. The flexible and efficient
architecture of the Marvell PXA1802 communication platform allows fast implementation on the latest LTE and TD-
SCDMA terminals with minimum cost. With Marvell’s cutting edge cellular technology and seamless wireless connectivity,
the new Marvell PXA1802-powered terminals offer ultimate performance for browsing, HD live video, music, 3D gaming,
social networking and other bandwidth-hungry mobile applications at an attractive price. In addition, the Marvell
PXA1802 communication platform is fully validated via extensive IOT, GCF and field trial testing in TD networks.
