Texas Instruments OMAP Application Processors Will Power Fujitsu's 3G Wireless Handsets

date: March 19, 2002

Texas Instruments announced that Fujitsu has selected TI's OMAP application processors for its 3G wireless handsets. The unique combination of low power and performance of TI's digital signal processor (DSP)-based OMAP1510 application processor supports a range of compelling applications such as multimedia messaging, interactive gaming, Internet audio, streaming video and location based services.

"Fujitsu believes 3G wireless handsets will play a key role in the emerging ubiquitous network of the future," said Akikazu Yajima, Group President of Fujitsu's Mobile Phones Group. "By incorporating TI's highly- scalable OMAP application processor, which reflects TI's considerable achievements and know-how in the area of wireless systems, we will be able to offer various solutions to our customers."

Today's announcement demonstrates continued momentum for TI's OMAP application processors as the ideal solutions to support 3G wireless, regardless of the communications standard, form factor or application. Industry leaders continue to select TI's OMAP application processors to quickly deliver leading-edge products to fast-growing markets including Japan and Europe, where market analysts predict 2.5 and 3G volumes will roll out first.

"The highly integrated, power-efficient OMAP1510 application processor will deliver unparalleled performance to Fujitsu's 3G handsets for Japan's wireless market as well as the rapidly-advancing European market for wireless data and voice," said Alain Mutricy, vice president, general manager of TI's OMAP platform.

TI's OMAP1510 application processor is based on TI's ultra low-power TMS320C55x DSP core and a TI-enhanced ARM general-purpose processor. The OMAP1510 application processor enables enhanced application performance without compromising memory or battery life since the DSP-based architecture provides an unsurpassed combination of performance and low power consumption, particularly for high end applications, such as graphic-intensive video that requires MPEG-4 decoding/encoding, and other multimedia-rich applications.
