RAMAT GAN & JERUSALEM, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2004--
Integrating TransChip Camera into e-SIM MMI Solution Provides Full Camera Functionality to Any Handset Manufacturer
TransChip Inc., a leading developer of integrated camera solutions for mobile phones and other multimedia-enabled devices and e-SIM Ltd. (OTCBB: ESIM.OB), a leading provider of MMI (Man-Machine Interface) solutions for wireless devices, announced today that they are collaborating to provide platform vendors and handset manufacturers with a complete MMI Solution that drives a pre-integrated mobile camera solution. The integrated product will be demonstrated at the Israel Mobile Association Brokerage Event at 3GSM World Congress, 24-25 February, Majestic Hotel, La Croisette, Cannes.
Adoption of the combined pre-integrated solution will enable the creation of a user-friendly camera that is operated using the same MMI as all other phone functions. This enables the TransChip camera to offer simple navigation through every camera function, creating a more comprehensive, high picture quality and low cost offering to ODM/OEM handset manufacturers, which can be smoothly integrated into existing reference design development programs.
The camera MMI will be incorporated into e-SIM's world-leading MMI Solution, which comprises a complete MMI reference design, a comprehensive set of RapidPLUS(TM) development and customization tools, as well as a broad range of professional services to ensure the project's success.
"Collaboration between e-SIM and TransChip further enhances our complete, pre-integrated MMI solution", commented Reuven Kleinman, VP Business Development and Marketing at e-SIM. "Pre-integrating the camera with our MMI Solution enables a more comprehensive MMI and allows our customers to develop camera-enabled handsets within a shorter time, at a lower cost and with minimal risk."
"e-SIM's MMI toolkit environment enables us to activate the full feature-rich set of digital effects and camera functions simply and quickly for many mobile phone models," stated Rutie Adar, TransChip's director of product marketing. "The combination of our advanced, micro-sized camera capabilities coupled with e-SIM's integrated solution enables TransChip to improve the overall value proposition we make to handset manufacturers. Presenting them with a greater value-added solution helps to expedite the integration process and brings our vision of camera-enabled phones for every market segment closer to reality."
