Taiwan-based semiconductor vendor Infomax, a recent spin-off and subsidiary of Macronix, has completed its next generation of cellular handset chips using baseband silicon IP from Comsys. A handset integrating the Comsys EGGware solution is currently being demonstrated at the Comsys booth, number 2B73 in Hall 2, at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. The demonstration showcases the voice and data capabilities of the handset over a live network, and will spotlight the advanced features of the Comsys baseband IP.

This solution provides an enhanced user experience, with excellent receiver performance and low power consumption.

EGGware provides a mature baseband solution for EGPRS, GPRS and GSM, and features very low resource requirements in addition to exceptional performance.

EGGware is available either as a stand-alone baseband core or as a complement in a multimode UMTS/Edge product, and can easily be ported to all common platforms.

The advanced features of the EGGware solution offer an exceptional radio performance, with a sensitivity of 2-8dB above 3GPP standard requirements.

EGGware roadmap includes Dual Transfer Mode and DARP (GMSK SAIC), as well as 3GPP Geran Release 6 features.

The modular EGGware system architecture provides optimised hardware/software partitioning, reducing overall power consumption, resources and costs.

'The combination of the Comsys EGGware solution and their support enabled us to achieve our targets to deliver a cellular chipset with an advanced feature-set, yet very cost-effective', commented Hwa-Sheng Pyi, CTO of Infomax.

'Working with the Infomax team proved to be extremely valuable during the development cycle, due to their vast knowledge of the platform, their access to some of the Macronix Application Devices, and most important their clear understanding of their target market', explained Ronny Gorlicki, Executive VP of Sales at Comsys.

'Many issues were resolved quickly with the open and continuous communication between the two teams'.
