Samsung, NXP and T3G showcase world’s first TD-SCDMA HSDPA/GSM multi-mode mobile phone

Samsung, NXP Semiconductors and T3G Technologies, today announced theworld's first TD-SCDMA HSDPA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE multi-mode mobile phone,which has also been demoed at the PT/Wireless Exposition in Beijing onOctober 23rd.
Powered by a software-defined modem capable of achieving [size=100%]data transferrates of 2.8Mbps, the Samsung SGH-T578H enables about 20 times fastertransfers than GPRS, allowing consumers to download severalhigh-quality MP3 files in less than a minute. The phone is based on theT3G7210 system solution featuring the industry's first soft modemempowered by NXP's Embedded Vector Processor (EVP) to achieve high datatransfer and multi-mode capability.
TD-SCDMA network deploymentshave been completed in 10 major cities across China where there aremore than 70 million potential subscribers. This network is planned tobe upgraded to support Release 5 (HSDPA) of the TD-SCDMA standardduring the course of 2008. With the Samsung SGH-T578H [size=100%]mobile phone,users will be able to enjoy the widespread deployment of TD-SCDMAinfrastructure to support high-speed streaming of multimedia coverageof the Beijing Olympics 2008. With this new milestone reached bySamsung, NXP and T3G, the TD-SCDMA standard is rapidly progressingtowards the current W-CDMA capabilities.

“Samsung has always been at the cutting edge of mobile technology.Together with NXP and T3G, we have achieved several major milestonesfor TD-SCDMA phones – from the first TD-SCDMA video phone to thiscurrent high data transfer rate TD-HSDPA dual-band prototype,” said Mr.W.S. Lee, Vice President, Handset R&D Planning, TelecommunicationNetwork Business, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. “Multimedia and sharingof content will be the drivers for next-generation handsets. Thecombination of T3G's leading TD-SCDMA technology and NXP's veryinnovative EVP technology, make them obvious partners of choice toprovide consumers a high-end multimedia experience in a run up to theBeijing Olympics.”

“The China 3G subscription is expected to grow rapidly. Byrealizing 3.5G capabilities on Samsung's SGH-T578H, NXP is driving thecommercialization and adoption of next-generation wireless technologies– not only for China's TD-SCDMA standard, but also proving successfulour EVP-based software-defined radio approach,” said Marc Cetto,Executive Vice President & General Manager, Mobile & PersonalBusiness Unit, NXP Semiconductors.

Mr. Johan Pross, CEO of T3G said, “The T3G7210 is the firstcellular system solution to use NXP's breakthrough embedded vectorprocessor to support multi-mode and multi-standard platforms, alsoallowing us to deal with possible changes in the standard or operatorrequirements. It enables mobile phone makers to offer morecommercialized handsets with a broad scope of 3G multimediaapplications.”

Samsung's SGH-T578H is based on the T3G7210 system solution whichuses the world's first 2.8Mbps HSDPA modem IC, TD60291. NXP's AdelanteVD32040 embedded vector processor enables the modem to achieve 2.8Mbpspeak data rates and fully supports the 3GPP TDD-LCR Standard Release 5.The T3G7210 system solution also supports quad-band EDGE and dual-bandTD-SCDMA with integrated multimedia accelerators to allow for thedevelopment of high-end feature phones without the need for additionalexternal co-processors.
