SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- IPWireless Inc. here has teamed with Flextronics Semiconductor Inc. to develop a new 0.13-micron system-on-chip IC with up to 3.5 million gates to reduce the size of high-speed wireless broadband modems to a PC card format for communicates over 3G cellular networks.

Three-year-old IPWireless is currently using a 0.18-micron ASIC chip with 1.7 million gates in its wireless 3G broadband systems to support two-way transmissions up to 9 megabit per second. The wireless broadband connection is being promoted as an alternative to cable modems and digital subscriber line (DSL) connections, said Jon Hambidge, senior director of marketing at the San Bruno company.

The current ASIC chip replaced an implementation with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and was jointly developed with Philips Semiconductors.
