As an extension of a MoU signed last September, Ericsson and Texas Instruments have signed an agreement for GPRS and 3G reference design platforms based on TI's silicon technology.
Ericsson will offer 3G mobile phone reference design platforms including TI semiconductor solutions enabling wireless equipment manufacturers to bring their products to market faster and with reduced R&D investment.
Ericsson Mobile Platforms' open solutions will include digital signal processors for baseband, RF components as well as application processors.
Under the agreement, Texas Instruments will supply the core components for Ericsson's reference design solutions.
These solutions will support a full range of handsets, addressing all market segments, including bandwidth-intensive and multimedia-rich wireless applications enabling services such as multimedia messaging, video and Internet audio downloads, e-mail, real-time Web browsing, advanced security, games and location-based services.
