VMTS and ARM Collaborate on Next-Generation, High-Speed, Feature-Rich Mobile Phones |
VMTS and ARM (LSE: ARM; Nasdaq: ARMHY) today announced at the ARM
Connected Community Technical Symposium, Paris France, that VMTS'
next-generation mobile silicon, protocol software and applications solutions
will incorporate the ARM926EJ-S(tm) processor to develop high-performance,
low-power and cost-efficient mobile solutions.
VMTS specializes in the development of GSM/GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA wireless
platforms, and will integrate the ARM926EJ-S processor in its V2751 baseband
for E-Vision EDGE and U-Vision UTMS solutions. The E-Vision solution will be
available on the market for mass production by February 2006.
"VMTS chose the fully-synthesizable ARM926EJ-S processor because of its
optimal silicon efficiency while delivering the highest performance and
longest battery life for a wireless system," said Simon Tchedikian, program
manager, VMTS. "For our E-Vision solution, the ARM926EJ-S processor enables
us to achieve a faster time-to-market, which in turn benefits our customers
by reducing the whole product development cycle for next-generation wireless
devices."
"The ARM(R) architecture is the most trusted and widely deployed
architecture for mobile products in the world," said Rob Coombs, director,
mobile solutions, ARM. "By incorporating the ARM926EJ-S processor in their
next-generation mobile solutions, VMTS is providing consumers with the
capability to run multiple, feature-rich applications on mobile phones with a
minimal drain on power, paving the way for next-generation handsets."
VK Mobile is already using VMTS G-Vision solution in its current GPRS
handsets and has started development of new EDGE line-up based on VMTS
E-Vision solution. The VMTS G-Vision reference design is based on the VMTS
V250G baseband which includes the ARM946ES(tm) processor. The G-Vision
solution provides a well integrated and cost-effective solution for VK GPRS
handsets. The E-Vision solution with the ARM926EJ-S processor brings high
performance and more multimedia features for the new generation of VK EDGE
handsets, which are targeted at the European, Asia Pacific and US markets.
"VMTS' ARM Powered(R) solutions enable manufacturers like us to rapidly
develop and produce leading mobile handsets for wireless markets," said
Joon-Ho Jung, CTO, VK Corporation. "VMTS and ARM technology secures VK mobile
handset development cycles with an ideal reuse grade and faster
time-to-market. We can absolutely deliver a seamless product on demand to our
customers."
The VMTS E-Vision EDGE solution provides the most integrated and adaptive
technology for a wide range of mobile phones from mid-range to advanced
high-end models. E-Vision solution uses the latest VMTS V2751 EDGE base-band
chip. The V2751 solution brings reliable modem technology with
high-performance multimedia features in one single chip. Its state-of-the-art
protocol stacks support quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) operation for
GSM/GPRS/EDGE and is dual-mode upgradeable with W-CDMA coprocessor.
The ARM926EJ-S processor is fully synthesizable and features a Jazelle(R)
technology-enhanced 32-bit RISC CPU, flexible size instruction and data
caches, tightly coupled memory (TCM) interfaces and memory management unit
(MMU). The ARM926EJ-S processor implements the ARMv5TEJ architecture, which
includes 16-bit fixed point DSP instructions to enhance performance of many
signal processing algorithms and applications as well as supporting Thumb(R)
and Java bytecode execution. |
