Qualcomm announces sampling of the MSM6250 solution for WCDMA, GSM and
GPRS
August 14, 2003
Qualcomm announced sampling to customers of the MSM6250Mobile Station
Modem (MSM) chipset and system software supporting GSM, GPRS and the Frequency
Division Duplex (FDD) mode of WCDMA. The MSM6250 chipset represents Qualcomm's
third WCDMA chipset, a single-chip solution that includes all the advanced
multimedia capabilities of the Launchpadsuite of applications on Qualcomm's
modem platform, reducing manufacturer's development cycle and promoting
faster time-to-market. The MSM6250 chipset includes the accurate and fully
integrated global positioning system (GPS) solution, gpsOne, the first
GPS solution for the WCDMA market. Additionally, the MSM6250 system solution
supports quad-band GSM and dual-band WCDMA, which will help enable worldwide
WCDMA and GSM roaming.
"We are pleased to provide samples of the MSM6250 chipset to our
customers to drive the global adoption of WCDMA," said Dr. Sanjay
K. Jha, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "With the integration
of multimedia and modem capabilities into the MSM6250 chipset, consumers
will soon experience cost-effective 3G devices based on this solution
that provide a great variety of feature-rich applications."
The MSM6250 chipset builds upon Qualcomm's previous WCDMA solutions and
includes the fully integrated multimedia features of the Launchpad suite
of applications. This single-chip solution eliminates the need for an
external applications processor and associated memory, significantly reducing
bill-of-material costs, board size and power consumption. The MSM6250
solution supports the advanced feature set of Qualcomm's Launchpad suite
of technologies - including MPEG-4 video encoding/decoding, JPEG encoding/decoding,
MP3/AAC audio decoding, a 2D/3D graphics accelerator for advanced gaming
applications, a MIDI synthesizer and a digital camera interface that supports
up to 2- megapixel resolution. The MSM6250 solution also integrates gpsOne
functionality, featuring SnapTrackenhancements, to support assisted and
standalone GPS - enabling a wide variety of location-based services and
applications such as points of interest, personal navigation and friend
finder. Also integrated into this solution are Bluetoothwireless connectivity
and USB On-The-Go (OTG) host controller to communicate directly with printers,
digital cameras, keyboards and other accessories.
The MSM6250 chipset solution helps enable worldwide roaming for WCDMA
terminals. The MSM6250 system solution consists of the MSM6250 baseband
processor, the direct conversion RFL6200 and RFR6200 receive devices,
the direct conversion RTR6250 GSM transceiver and WCDMA transmit device,
the powerOne series PM6650 power management device and a complete WCDMA/GSM/GPRS
protocol stack. The MSM6250 system solution supports dual-mode, quad-band
GSM transceiver operations [GSM 850, GSM 900, Digital Cellular System
(DCS) 1800, and GSM 1900] and WCDMA transmit operations for 1900 MHz and
2100 MHz. Now, with minimal board design modifications, operators can
offer a single device that can roam anywhere in the world.
As with all members of the MSM6xxx family of chipset solutions, the MSM6250
solution features Qualcomm's radioOne Zero Intermediate Frequency (ZIF)
architecture, which eliminates the need for Intermediate Frequency (IF)
components. With radioOne technology, the MSM6250 chipset requires less
printed-circuit-board area than previous generations and reduces time-to-market
development and bill-of-material costs.
The MSM6250 solution includes Qualcomm's BREW platform. With the BREW
protocols and tools, handset manufacturers and developers can develop
embedded wireless applications and BREW-based products more quickly and
easily.
The MSM6250 chipset is also compatible with the Java runtime environment;
the J2ME solution can be built entirely on the MSM6250 chipset's BREW
software layer.
