Zyray Wireless puts a new spin on dual mode 3G handsets
February 13, 2003
The rapid development of dual mode GSM/GPRS and WCDMA handsets
is a significant step closer following the introduction of Zyray
Wireless' SPINNERchip 1.0 WCDMA baseband processor solution. Sampling
began ahead of schedule and a complete dual mode WCDMA & GSM/GPRS
solution will be demonstrated at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes.
Proven to connect to a majority of market-leading GSM/GPRS baseband
solutions, Zyray's SPINNERchip 1.0 single chip WCDMA FDD baseband
processor began sampling last month. The solution uses a standard
memory interface to connect to existing GSM/GPRS baseband processors.
"As an add-on to an existing GSM/GPRS terminal design, SPINNERchip
1.0 provides handset manufacturers with the lowest-risk, lowest-cost
path to dual-mode GSM/GPRS and WCDMA handsets," said Werner Sievers,
President and CEO of Zyray Wireless. "This solution is key to reducing
a customer's development cycle time, maximising hardware and software
reuse and reducing development costs. Significant BOM (Bill of Materials)
savings can also be achieved."
SPINNERchip 1.0 can provide handset manufacturers with a time advantage
of up to 12 months and can reduce the cost of a handset development
project by as much as US$3 million, said Zyray Wireless. By utilising
this dual chip strategy, per handset savings are estimated at between
US$10 - US$20.
SPINNERchip 1.0 is a 3GPP Release 99 March 2002 compliant FDD baseband
processor, supporting 384kbps operation in uplink and downlink and
integrating all functionality required for WCDMA operation into
a single chip. The chip includes support for WCDMA ciphering, a
programmable analogue I/Q RF interface, and an optional USIM interface.
