MediaTek to license UbiNetics WCDMA protocol software
February 13, 2005
UbiNetics has licensed its WCDMA Protocol Software to one of Taiwan's fabless semiconductor companies.
Under the terms of the agreement, UbiNetics will supply its WCDMA protocol software which MediaTek will incorporate into its forthcoming designs for 3G mobile phones. The WCDMA protocol stack, the software responsible for managing communications between the phone and the network, is one of the key components of any 3G solution, and the effectiveness of the protocol software has a profound effect on the overall performance of the handset.
MediaTek, one of the world's top 10 fabless semiconductor, selected UbiNetics because of the interoperability and maturity of the UbiNetics WCDMA solution. Ji-Chang Hsu, General Manager, Wireless Communications Business Unit at MediaTek, commented: "The WCDMA protocol stack from UbiNetics was selected since it is a proven and reliable solution, and the most advanced 3G protocol stack available on the market today."
"We are very pleased to announce the licensing of our WCDMA protocol stack to MediaTek," said Rafik Jallad, UbiNetics business manager. "The selection as a supplier for MediaTek is a good indication of the technical and commercial attractiveness of our Protocol Software in a fiercely competitive market."
