Qualcomm's MSM6250 Chipset Selected by Toshiba for the WCDMA/GSM/GPRS
Market
November 13, 2003
Qualcomm and Toshiba Corporation's Mobile Communications Company announced
the selection of Qualcomm's MSM6250 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset
and system software for Toshiba's multimode 3G handsets. The MSM6250 announcement
is Toshiba's first selection of a WCDMA chipset solution from Qualcomm.
With the MSM6250 chipset, Toshiba will provide cost-effective, feature-rich
multimedia-enabled handsets to WCDMA markets worldwide using a proven
solution for faster time to market.
"We are very pleased that Toshiba has selected our unique chipset solution
to help them address the significant WCDMA market opportunity," said Luis
Pineda, vice president of marketing and product management for Qualcomm
CDMA Technologies. "Through our close working relationship, we will ensure
that Toshiba's leading capabilities in handset design are strongly supported
by our proven, cost-effective multimedia solution to enable even greater
choice for 3G wireless users."
"Toshiba is excited by the opportunity to work with Qualcomm in order
to build a strong presence in the 3G device marketplace," said Seiji Yasunaga,
chief marketing executive of Toshiba's Mobile Communications Company.
"With this agreement, we are committing to provide consumers worldwide
with a variety of affordable, exciting 3G multimedia handsets that support
attractive data features."
Building upon Qualcomm's previous WCDMA solutions, the MSM6250 chipset
includes the fully integrated multimedia features of the Launchpad suite
of applications. This single-chip solution eliminates the need for an
external applications processor and associated memory, significantly reducing
bill-of-material (BOM) costs, board size and power consumption.
The MSM6250 solution supports the advanced feature set of Qualcomm's
Launchpad suite of technologies - including MPEG-4 video encoding/decoding,
JPEG encoding/decoding, MP3/AAC audio decoding, a 2D/3D graphics accelerator
for advanced gaming applications, a MIDI synthesizer and a digital camera
interface that supports up to 2-megapixel resolution. The MSM6250 solution
also integrates gpsOne functionality, featuring SnapTrack enhancements,
to support assisted and standalone GPS - enabling a wide variety of location-based
services and applications, including points of interest, personal navigation
and friend finder. Also integrated into this solution are Bluetooth wireless
connectivity and USB On-The-Go (OTG) host controller to communicate directly
with printers, digital cameras, keyboards and other accessories.
As with all members of the MSM6xxx family of chipset solutions, the MSM6250
solution features Qualcomm's radioOne Zero Intermediate Frequency (ZIF)
architecture, which eliminates the need for Intermediate Frequency (IF)
components. With radioOne technology, the MSM6250 chipset requires less
printed-circuit-board area than previous generations and reduces time-to-market
development and BOM costs.
The MSM solutions also include Qualcomm's BREW system. Qualcomm's BREW
system provides products and services that connect the mobile marketplace
value chain, which includes application developers, publishers, content
providers, device manufacturers, operators and consumers. The MSM chipsets
are also compatible with the Java runtime environment; the J2ME solution
can be built entirely on the chipset's BREW software layer.
Qualcomm's MSM6250 chipset solution helps enable worldwide roaming for
WCDMA terminals. The MSM6250 system solution consists of the MSM6250 baseband
processor, the direct conversion RFL6200 and RFR6200 receive devices,
the direct conversion RTR6250 GSM transceiver and WCDMA transmit device,
the direct conversion RGR6200 GPS receiver, the powerOne series PM6650
power management device and a complete WCDMA/GSM/GPRS protocol stack.
The MSM6250 system solution supports dual-mode, quad-band GSM transceiver
operations [GSM 850, GSM 900, Digital Cellular System (DCS) 1800, and
GSM 1900] and WCDMA transmit operations for 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz. Now,
with minimal board design modifications, operators can offer a single
device that can roam anywhere in the world.
