Cellular Transceivers GSM GPRS and EDGE

AERO GSM/GPRS Transceivers

The original Aero transceiver was the first widely accepted RF CMOS solution for GSM/GPRS applications. Aero GSM/GPRS transceivers have proven their reliablility and stability worldwide in over 600 million handsets. They deliver world-class performance with low power consumption in the smallest form factor and lowest bill of materials in the industry.


The Aero GSM/GPRS family was designed for ease-of-use and ease-of manufacture, which enables a faster time-to-market. Aero4208 is a fourth generation quad-band GSM/GPRS transceiver that enables worldwide roaming. Aero4209 is a fourth generation cost-optimized dual-band solution.

AERO EDGE Transceivers

The Aero EDGE family of transceivers extends Aero's market-leading performance into applications requiring an EDGE air interface. Aero EDGE transceivers have proven their reliability and stability worldwide in almost 100 million handsets. They deliver world-class performance with low power consumption in the smallest form factor and lowest bill of materials in the industry. The novel dual transmit architecture of the Aero EDGE enables 8-PSK transmit modulation without degrading performance in GMSK mode.


The Aero EDGE family was designed for ease-of-use and  ease-of manufacture, which enables a faster time-to-market. Aero4213 is a third generation quad-band EDGE transceiver that enables worldwide roaming and has an industry standard DigRF v1.12 interface. Aero4223 is a third generation cost-optimized quad-band EDGE transceiver with an analog I/Q interface.
