OT?: ARM JTEK Software Licensed by Siemens
for Next-Generation Feature Phones


Arm Java Acceleration Software Delivers High Java Performance With Jazelle
Technology

CAMBRIDGE, England, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM,
(LSE: ARM; Nasdaq: ARMHY), today announced that Siemens has licensed the
ARM(R) Jazelle(R) Technology Enabling Kit (JTEK(TM)) software for deployment
in its next-generation ARM Powered(R) feature phones.
Device manufacturers and service providers are increasingly using Java
technology as a low cost means to quickly deploy new applications, such as
complex games and mobile push services. ARM Jazelle technology enables
execution of Java byte code in hardware offering the capability to run these
new and demanding applications much faster, with limited power and cost
penalties. Acceleration of Java technology, as part of the core architecture,
requires no additional ROM/RAM, yet provides increased efficiency in power.
This means consumers can use mobile devices to run Java applications for
longer without sacrificing performance or responsiveness.
"Complexity in mobile Java applications is increasing rapidly, putting
great strain on consumer devices. JTEK software enables the smooth running of
these applications without sacrificing battery life or start-up time," said
Chris Porthouse, Execution Environments product manager, ARM. "The exponential
growth in JTEK technology-enabled handsets is set to continue and this will
help strengthen our current position."
