TTPCom's 3G DigRF solution is designed to enable semiconductor device vendors to quickly and easily add a 3G DigRF compliant digital interface to both 3G RF and baseband ICs
The Intel PXA800F cellular processor is an integrated communications and applications processor that is the first product to fully integrate the GSM/GPRS baseband solution with a high performance Intel XScale technology-based processor and Intel OnChip Flash memory.
The Intel PXA800F cellular processor offers mobile device manufacturers a true alternative to established silicon platforms in the wireless sector and is fully compatible with TTPCom's industry-standard GSM/GPRS protocol software, used by over 40 mobile device manufacturers worldwide.
The combination of Intel hardware with TTPCom software provides a solid platform for the development of low power, cost-effective wireless devices capable of running rich data applications.
In particular the Intel PXA800F cellular processor will support the increasingly sophisticated functionality, such as high-end Java(TM) capability, multimedia messaging service, digital cameras and dual colour displays, which are becoming standard features in mainstream handsets.
Tony Milbourn, Managing Director at TTPCom, stated: "I am thrilled to see the launch of Intel's new cellular processor based on TTPCom's GSM/GPRS technology.
