PARIS, Feb 13, 2003 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Increasing significantly the
data throughput of GSM mobiles STEPMIND, a fabless solutions and components
supplier, today announced the availability of its GSM/GPRS/EDGE Baseband
Processor. This new processor is designed to provide Class12 E-GPRS capability
and gives GSM mobile developers a powerful platform with which to build
compelling multimedia products. The four timeslot EDGE receive and transmit
capability allows a data rate of up to 240kbit/s to be obtained and enables
cellular operators to launch high speed multimedia services and much faster
loading of the rapidly growing Multi-Media Services, MMS.
"This chip is a significant step forward in GSM baseband solutions as it
integrates both the analog and digital baseband functions on a single CMOS logic
die" said Andre Jolivet, Business Development Manager and Stepmind founder, "our
customers can now develop mobiles capable of high speed services without the
delays and risks associated with the development of multi-mode GSM/WCDMA
solutions. In addition it will be code compatible with our follow-up product
which integrates our quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE CMOS RF transceiver and system RAM
on to the same die to further drive costs down."
An ARM946(TM) CPU core provides the processing power needed to cope with the
high data rate, advanced operating systems, graphics and gaming features used in
such terminals. The PALM(TM) DSP provides polyphonic ring tone generation and
stereo MP3 player capabilities as well as improved audio quality using noise and
echo cancelling together with both narrow-band Adaptive Multi Rate, AMR and
wideband AMR support in addition to the traditional GSM speech coders.
"We are very excited by this latest addition to the Stepmind product portfolio"
commented Alain Jolivet, Chairman and CEO of STEPMIND, "our engineers have a
long history of GSM chipset development and this has allowed us to develop this
solution fully in-house and in record time. The chip is fully functional and we
are currently in the process of integration and test with a third-party
GSM/E-GPRS protocol stack. This chip is generating serious market interest and
has given us a leadership position in EDGE capable GSM baseband standard
products."
