World’s first wireless multicomm processor
ASOCS, the leading developer of wireless Multi-Communication processors and system solutions for handheld devices announced the launch of the MP100, the world’s first wireless MultiComms processor capable of running up to three wireless air interfaces concurrently. The single baseband chip supports multiple wireless standards concurrently and is designed from the start to support integration of new and additional standards as they become requirements for mainstream devices. The MP100 was developed by ASOCS, in conjunction with Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited, a world leader in LSI applications and advanced semiconductor process technologies. Fujitsu process technology coupled with ASOCS patented technology, enables flexible interface with all major radio frequency (RF) standards to form a complete wireless MultiComm system-on-a-chip.
The ASOCS MP100 MultiComm processor introduces a revolutionary approach to wireless communication: a single IP-based platform offering high-performance, software reconfigurable modems, low latency air-interface switching, and minimal power consumption; and enabling user-transparent access to the internet. For the first time, users can enjoy the true mobile internet without manually optimizing performance, cost, and power consumption. By developing product lines based on the ASOCS MultiComms platform, mobile terminal vendors can offer an abundance of MultiComm services while significantly reducing power consumption. Using ASOCS’ single-chip solution also reduces both bill of material (BOM) and R&D design efforts. ASOCS MultiComm processor offers flexible integration models: it can be used either as a complete terminal processor or as a communication companion chip enabling smooth upgradeability to any existing and future wireless applications such as LTE, mobile WiMax and HSPDA/HSUPA.
