The first news release on the new CDMA chips coming out: Dot Wireless Offers Advanced CDMA Development Platform; VLSI Technology and Dot Wireless Jointly Develop Advanced CDMA ASIC Solution Business Wire - June 01, 1998 07:31 SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 1998--Dot Wireless(TM), Inc., today announced its advanced development platform for IS-95, the air interface protocol for North America's CDMA standard. The San Diego-based start-up's flexible development system allows wireless handset manufacturers to quickly attain a complete, verified and supported air interface package - including reference designs, software and development tools. The development platform will greatly simplify next-generation CDMA handset development, while compressing time-to-market and minimizing R&D risk. "CDMA handset providers are scrambling to marshall the wide array of resources required to produce highly distinctive offerings for CDMA," noted Dot Wireless President and CEO Rick Kornfeld. "By providing the system design, protocol and application software, as well as an exhaustive suite of development tools, we enable our partners to rapidly develop highly integrated, low cost and power efficient systems for CDMA markets worldwide." Kornfeld said that the company's initial CDMA development is focused on a baseband application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which is currently being developed under contract for VLSI Technology, Inc. (VLSI) of San Jose, California. As VLSI Technology has a history of introducing highly integrated, low power wireless semiconductors, this CDMA development is expected to enable a new generation of low-cost, power efficient, high performance handsets. "We chose to partner with Dot Wireless because of their extensive knowledge of CDMA technology and the needs of the wireless industry," said Mark Brine, director of North American Wireless Products of VLSI Technology, Inc "Our wireless semiconductor expertise, combined with Dot's CDMA industry experience, will bring the partnership of VLSI Technology and Dot Wireless to the forefront of wireless systems development."
