TTPCom signs two major licences for dual mode 3G/GSM technology

date: September 25, 2001

TTPCom announces that it has licensed its combined 3G and GSM technology to two major customers in Japan. The contracts allow for the joint development of dual-mode 3G/GSM radio and baseband chipsets and therefore extends TTPCom’s core expertise into the next generation of mobile terminals.

Tony Milbourn, Managing Director of TTPCom said, "We have started to establish an industry standard with our stable and proven GSM/GPRS software. With these new agreements we are building on this strong position to develop a leading business in 3G".

TTPCom has a long and successful record of developing GSM technology and in January of this year was the first independent developer to launch a working GPRS platform. This experience is essential in developing small, reliable and competitive dual-mode terminals, which are capable of operating on both GSM/GPRS and UMTS networks, and therefore providing continuous geographic coverage.

TTPCom has invested heavily in developing 3G technology and in addition to the physical layer and protocol stack developments has a large team working on 3G mobile applications – an area which will revolutionise the user experience of mobile terminals through gaming, m-commerce and video streaming. TTPCom works with many of the standards organisations and chairs the 3GPP MExE (Mobile Execution Environment) sub-working group, which oversees the development of technology for the downloading of applications into mobile devices.
