Members will have access to restricted information such as the latest SH-Mobile product data and road maps, as well as the SolutionEngine application development board and other development tools and technical support.
They will also be able to make full use of activities such as joint participation in exhibitions, market expansion, and various kinds of information exchange via the Internet.
Such activities will make it possible to reduce the development time and workload involved in SH-Mobile based solutions.
As a result, the consortium will rapidly amass a wide range of solutions.
The SH-Mobile multimedia application processor was specifically developed to meet the demands of next-generation mobile phones.
Currently, 600,000 units are sold per month, with sales predicted to reach 10 million units by the end of the fiscal year (year end March 2004).
The consortium will enable the device to be extended to provide a business platform for various partners and a solution platform for users.
The SH-Mobile Consortium has started the general recruitment of members.
Details are available from the Renesas website.
