Qualcomm's MSM6250 chipset selected by LG Electronics
September 09, 2003
Qualcomm and LG Electronics announced the selection of Qualcomm's MSM6250
Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset and system software for LGE's multimode
3G handsets. The announcement marks LGE's selection of its third WCDMA
chipset solution from Qualcomm. With the MSM6250 chipset, LGE can provide
cost-effective, feature-rich multimedia-enabled handsets to WCDMA markets
worldwide using a proven solution for faster time to market.
"Our MSM6250 chipsets will enable LGE to develop cost-effective handsets
that support feature-rich applications at 3G data speeds, creating an
enhanced level of choice for consumers in Europe and around the world,"
said Dr. Sanjay K. Jha, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "The
combination of Qualcomm and LGE technologies will give consumers in WCDMA
markets access to an exciting new selection of multimedia handsets from
one of the premier providers of wireless devices."
James Kim, president of LG Electronics, said, "By integrating Qualcomm's
MSM6250 chipsets into our handsets, we will be able to offer consumers
sophisticated data applications that operate on all GSM, GPRS and WCDMA
networks worldwide."
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.
