Nazomi Introduces Java Accelerator Chip for 2.5G and 3G Mobile Wireless Applications

date: January 28, 2002

Nazomi Communications, the inventor of universal and scalable Java solutions for boosting the performance of software running on the Java Platform, today unveiled its first silicon IC product, the JA108. The new Java accelerator chip targets mobile wireless applications, such as 2.5G and 3G phones, and it improves Java software execution while extending battery life. The JA108 is the first in a series of product offerings under Nazomi's new KChip product line.

The JA108 offloads the microprocessor by taking over the task of executing Java bytecode instructions quickly and power-efficiently and thus speeds up Java software execution by 15x to 60x, depending on the application. It accomplishes this without increasing system clock frequencies, requiring additional memory, new tools or causing any new porting efforts. The chip, which interfaces like a standard SRAM device, is a stand-alone Java Accelerator that can be easily integrated into new and existing designs on existing memory buses. The chip is available either in a 10x10 mm 128 ball uBGA .8 mil pitch, or a 7x7 mm 128 ball uBGA .5 mil pitch configuration.

Jay Kamdar, vice president of marketing at Nazomi commented, "With the deployment of 2.5G and 3G networks, wireless carriers are increasingly looking at offering Java-based-interactive applications, such as multimedia messaging, financial services and gaming, to increase the average revenue per unit (ARPU) and customer loyalty. Nazomi's Java acceleration solutions will improve the usability and the overall user experience of these services. With JA108 enhanced devices, handset manufacturers can readily answer the carriers' demand for Java enabled phones that deliver enhanced performance in the most economical and practical way."
