Roadmaps & Reference Documentation on 3G 1xMC MSM5xxx Chipsets - Quick Links Note: A Roadmap is just that, a roadmap, and it is always subject to change as are spec sheets. _________________________________________________________________________________ Qualcomm MSM Roadmap Progression for 3G Chipsets _________________________________________________________________________________ 1.) November 08, 1999 - "Enabling Wireless High Data Rate Internet Access" - Don Schrock qualcomm.com Shows MSM5000 1xMX 153 kbps (for "Trials") - Shows MSM5100 but no MSM5105 - Shows MSM3100 but doesn't show it R-UIM enabled - Shows iMSM5500 (1xMC) delivering before MSM5100 which is shown as a 1x/3x chip - Shows MSM 3300 _________________________________________________________________________________ 2.) April 29, 2000 "Maximizing the 3G Market" - William Bold cdg.org also - to view in better detail (downloads slow) cdg.org Shows the MSM5100 sampling Q4 00 and now it is 1xMC at 307kbps with the iMSM5500 deleted and the MSM5500 is shown as 1xMC + 1xHDR sampling early Q2 01 - The MSM 3300 is shown (MSM3100 Based) _________________________________________________________________________________ 3.) September 20, 2000 - "MSM Roadmap & Chipset Detail" - Steve Sivitz via.com.tw Very comprehensive roadmap includes several "i" series chipsets for smartphones and the iMSM5500 reappears as 1xMC + 1xEV and is MSM5100 based Introduces MSM3100 based R-UIM enabled 5105 - shows MSM5100 sampling Q1 01 IMT-2000 Multi Mode shown as a 2002 chip _________________________________________________________________________________ 4.) November 14, 2000 "MSM Roadmap Slide" from DB Alex Brown 2000 Technology Conference - Dr. Paul Jacobs. qualcomm.com Similar to Roadmap # 3 without "i" series chipsets _________________________________________________________________________________ Detail on ALL Individual MSM Digital IC's - Frequently Updated qualcomm.com _________________________________________________________________________________ - MSM5000 - qualcomm.com * MSM3000 based and in "compliance with the third generation cdma2000 Phase One and IS-95A and IS-95B standards". * This chip is in compliance with the Phase 0 (Zero) IS-2000A standard. * Refered to as a trial chip in Roadmap # 1. --- MSM5000 Product Spec Sheet qualcomm.com --- MSM5000 2nd press release - February 1, 2000 qualcomm.com * "QUALCOMM ... announced the on-time shipment of chip samples ... sample shipments of the MSM5000 solution began at the end of January of this year and worldwide field trials are expected to begin by late March of this year by QUALCOMM, manufacturers and carriers". * "QUALCOMM has exceeded the ITU's 3G requirements for data rates in full wide area mobility of 144 kilobits per second (kbps) by enabling data rates of 153.6 kbps on both the forward and reverse links ... up to twice the overall capacity over IS-95A and IS-95B systems." --- MSM5000 1st press release - May 24, 1999 qualcomm.com * "Compliant with spreading rate 1 of cdma2000 Phase One and will begin field trials in early 2000 with commercial production following the trials". * "153.6kbps on both the forward and reverse links" _________________________________________________________________________________ - MSM5100 - qualcomm.com --- MSM5100 press release - February 28, 2000 qualcomm.com * "Based on the MSM3300 ... the MSM5100 chipset family will provide data rates of up to 307 kilobits per second (kbps) on both the forward and reverse links, up to a 50 percent increase in standby times, and up to twice the overall capacity for voice of IS-95A and IS-95B systems." Sampling Date - None given - shown on Roadmap #1 as Q4 00 and later as Q1 01 _________________________________________________________________________________ - MSM5105 - qualcomm.com --- MSM5105 product spec sheet qualcomm.com * "QUALCOMM's 3G CDMA Multi-Carrier 1xMC solution, the MSM5105 Mobile Station Modem chipset and software is designed to the IS-2000 Standard and enables a doubling of overal IS-95A/B voice capacity and new, higher-data-rate services. With initial data rates that exceed the ITU requirement for full wide area mobility, the MSM5105 solution will support 153.6 kilobits per second (kbps). , the MSM5105 chipset builds on the highly successful IS-95A/B architecture of the MSM3100 solution." --- MSM5105 press release - January 11, 2001 qualcomm.com * "QCT's MSM5105 solution supports up to 153 kilobits per second (kbps) in the forward link." * "An MSM5105-based 3G 1x handset with an interface to a personal computer (PC) can support applications such as video streaming, file transfers, Web browsing, voice recognition and QCT's Compact Media Extension (CMX) Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)-based multimedia software." * "The MSM5105 solution uses the proven 1x cores and functionality of the MSM5000 solution, which offers a stable handset development platform." * "Sample shipments of the MSM5105 integrated circuit and system software began in December 2000. The first consumer products incorporating the MSM5105 solution are expected to be commercially available in the middle of calendar 2001." _________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: - The MSM5105 is based on the MSM3100 which is not pin compatible with the MSM5000 or the MSM3000 the MSM5000 is based on, and the supply voltages are different. Package size is the same. The advantages of the MSM3100 over the MSM3000 are considerable. They are outlined in this FAQ: qualcomm.com _________________________________________________________________________________ CDG Statement ofcdma2000 Standardization Efforts for cdma2000 1xRTT: cdg.org The first phase capabilities of cdma2000 are defined in a standard known as 1X. Completed in the July 1999, this phase of cdma2000 carriers the TIA standard name of IS-2000 and the ITU standard name of MC-1X. 1X introduces 144 kbps packet data in a mobile environment and speeds beyond this in a fixed environment. Features available with 1X are a two-fold increase in both voice capacity and standby time, advanced packet data services, as well as greatly extended battery life and improved sleep mode technology. All of these capabilities will be available in an existing 1.25 MHz channel. The second release of 1X is being worked on in the TIA and will support faster data speeds with peak rates up to 614 KBPS. ### - Eric -
