Qualcomm Announces WCDMA/GSM/GPRS Multimode Solution Supporting HSDPA
May 22, 2003
Qualcomm announced the MSM6275 radioOne Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset
and system software, a high-performance solution delivering High Speed
Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), a next-generation feature of the WCDMA
(UMTS) standard, as well as roaming on GSM and GPRS systems. The MSM6275
chipset, the fourth generation of WCDMA chipsets offered to customers
by Qualcomm, provides increased processing power and enhanced video and
graphics performance at lower current consumption. The MSM6275 solution
will enable high-quality, multimedia-rich WCDMA handsets with extended
time for MP3 file playback, streaming video and video telephony.
As with all members of the MSM6xxx family, the MSM6275 solution is based
on radioOne Zero Intermediate Frequency (ZIF) architecture, providing
a reduced bill of materials and enabling the development of more cost-effective
solutions for 3G wireless devices.
Samples of the MSM6275 chipset are expected to ship in 2004.
"Our years of experience in WCDMA (UMTS) development, combined with
our extensive, ongoing systems solutions testing with all of the major
WCDMA infrastructure providers and carriers, have enabled Qualcomm to
continue to enhance and quickly deliver new, more optimized multimode
products," said Johan Lodenius, senior vice president of product
management and marketing for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.
Based on the feature set of the MSM6250 solution, the MSM6275 chipset
and system software provides enhanced multimedia functionality for video
conferencing, streaming video, music playback, gaming, camera and camcorder
features. Enhanced processing power and lower current consumption for
applications is delivered to the MSM6275 chipset by increasing the performance
of the ARM9 and QDSP4000 processors while utilizing an increased amount
of hardware acceleration for targeted functions.
Key enhancements of the MSM6275 solution include support for:
- HSDPA, a next generation feature of the WCDMA (UMTS) standard
- Quarter Video Graphics Array (QVGA) and Common Intermediate Format (CIF)
resolution video decode and encode for high quality video playback, streaming,
recording and video telephony
- 15 frames per second (fps) at CIF resolution for video telephony
- MPEG-4 decode at 30 fps at CIF resolution for streaming or offline viewing
- MPEG-4 encode at 15 fps at CIF for camcorder capability
- Additional codecs such as H.263 and other market leading multimedia
formats to seamlessly receive a broad variety of content
- 2 to 4 Mega Pixel image sensors for high resolution digital still camera
functionality
- Faster 2D/3D graphics support for improved interactive gaming, user
interfaces, text and imaging applications
- High speed, low power, serial Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI)
to optimize the communication and lower the interconnection cost between
the MSM and the LCD panel
