Adcore-Tech Completes New Digital Baseband Technology for Mobile Handset Communications Platform
Tokyo, July 4, 2007 - Adcore-Tech, Co., Ltd. has succeeded in developing a new W-CDMA 3.5G digital baseband technology. The new technology marks the completion of a new communications platform for mobile handsets, which Adcore-Tech has started licensing to partner companies for development of mobile handset communications chips. Adcore-Tech was established in 2006 to carry out the global development, design, and technology licensing of a hardware and software communications platform* to manage the core communications functions for mobile handsets targeting third generation (3G/3.5G) and beyond.
The licensed architecture employs multiple small-scale digital signal processors to simultaneously achieve high peak performance, low power consumption, low cost, and high portability. The new architecture further supports the evolution of mobile handsets with higher communication speed and enhanced functionality, by providing a robust solution extendable to HSDPA and HSUPA, and a design that minimizes mutual interference between existing systems such as GSM and future systems such as LTE.
Adcore-Tech aims to facilitate the quick and efficient development of increasingly sophisticated communications technology for mobile handsets targeting 3G/3.5G and beyond, and contribute to the advancement of the mobile handset industry at large.
Adcore-Tech, Co., Ltd. is a joint venture of NEC Corporation, NEC Electronics Corporation, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., Panasonic Mobile Communications Co. Ltd., and Texas Instruments Incorporated.
