Toshiba comes to
TTPCom for 3G technology
TTP Communications has licensed its 3G technology to allow Toshiba to develop dual-mode 3G/GSM baseband chipsets for wireless terminals
The dual-mode chipsets will enable terminals to be used on both GSM and 3G wireless networks; this will be an important feature for next generation handsets as 3G networks will take time to provide broad geographic coverage. The deal combines TTPCom's 3G/GSM dual-mode technology with Toshiba's existing 3G technology developed for the rapidly growing Japanese market, where the world's first 3G (W-CDMA) network has recently been launched.

Shigeru Komatsu, General Manager of the Toshiba Network and Telecommunication System LSI Division, stated: "Taking account of penetration into the 3G device market for the coming years outside Japan, 3G/GSM dual-mode capability is the key for success.
Since TTPCom already has good experience and proven technology in the 2G/2.5G device market, our co-operation with them in both software and silicon will reinforce our leadership position in the emerging 3G market".
"Much of the 3G technology to be installed by the world's cellular operators will need to be based on stable and proven GSM software, putting us in a strong position to build on our leadership position in GSM/GPRS technology and establish a strong business in 3G", said Tony Milbourn, Managing Director of TTP Communications.
"We recognised the importance of a dual-mode 3G/GSM approach from the start and have been working on this development for over 2 years now.
The co-operation with Toshiba will ensure that we have a complete 3GPP system solution available for terminal manufacturers in time for mass market take-up".
Toshiba is one of the two semiconductor partners in Japan with which TTPCom has previously announced it is developing next generation technology.
In total, TTPCom now works with six silicon partners, five of whom are in the world's top ten.
