Wiscom Technologies Completes Successful Demonstration of 3G WCDMA Prototype

date: October 21, 2001

Wiscom Technologies, a developer of 3G WCDMA mobile communication technologies with a focus on ASIC baseband chipsets for mobile terminals, announced it has successfully completed the construction of a WCDMA handset built from Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA).

On October 5, 2001, Wiscom Technologies successfully demonstrated over-the-air WCDMA data services on the FDD mode of the UMTS 3GPP standard. Services demonstrated include voice conversations, web browsing, e-mail, file download, video streaming and video conferencing using the 3GPP Release 99 technology at speeds of up to 210 kbps. Wiscom ran the demonstration on proprietary modem cards, which include FPGA, DSP, a RISC-based processor and RF boards. Still in pre-production, the modem cards are a version of the WIS-1000 W-CDMA modem chip for use in 3G mobile devices.

"This successful demonstration marks a significant milestone for Wiscom in product development and represents a giant step towards delivery of our final product, the WCDMA ASIC for mobile terminals," said Wiscom CEO Dennis Chen. "We are very proud of this accomplishment. In building a world-class technical team, Wiscom has successfully leveraged our collective management and engineering expertise to deliver the first of a series of world-class products. In addition to boosting business development in our targeted markets, this demonstration takes Wiscom meaningfully closer to being a winning player in the 3G marketplace."
