Alliance to develop dual-mode chips
TTPCom and NEC Electronics are joining forces to develop dual-mode chips that will include TTPCom's Edge/GPRS/GSM silicon and software architecture
This fast-track route to the development of 3G/2G chips will help NEC Electronics increase its presence in the global market. NEC Electronics is developing a dual-mode 3G/2G chipset to address the growing world market for dual-mode wireless products that can handover to Edge/GPRS/GSM networks outside pockets of 3G coverage.
