All... Handsets with DSP Communications' CDMA Baseband Chipsets Now Available in the Japanese Market; Consumers Experience DSPC Performance First-Hand Business Wire - August 03, 1998 09:13 CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 1998--DSP Communications, Inc. (NYSE:DSP) today announced that handset manufacturers employing DSPC's cdmaOne(TM) chipsets have begun volume shipments of CDMA handsets to Japanese carriers. "DSPC has worked very closely with our customers during the entire development cycle to ensure that handsets implementing DSPC's CDMA chipset achieve performance exceeding the Japanese CDMA market requirements," said Arnon Kohavi, Vice President of Business Development for DSPC. "We believe our customers have achieved prime handset designs which will enable them to compete in all aspects including size, cost, and performance." In the past, DSPC has announced several customers who began developing handsets for the Japanese market based upon DSPC's CDMA chipset. Recently, Kyocera announced that they will supply handsets to DDI, a Japanese carrier. On July 14, 1998, DDI became the first carrier in Japan to activate a CDMA network . DSPC's D5400 family of CDMA chipsets offers an IS-95 compliant solution for complete baseband processing for cellular, PCS, and WLL terminals. Implementing three vocoders, including the 8 Kbps and 13 Kbps and EVRC, the chipset offers high voice quality to end-users. DSPC's low power consumption for CDMA and analog modes offers a clear advantage to handset manufacturers and consumers. Users enjoy the benefits of longer standby and talk times and lighter batteries. With built-in flexibility for software modifications, the DSPC chipset may be easily modified or customized, giving manufacturers the ability to differentiate their handsets. DSP Communications, Inc. is a leading developer of chipsets and products for cellular, personal communication services (PCS), and wireless local loop (WLL) markets. Headquartered in Cupertino, CA, the company develops, markets, licenses, and supports application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and software based on digital signal processing (DSP) technology for a variety of wireless applications. DSPC products comply with leading standards for Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). DSPC's leading customers include Fujitsu, Kenwood, Kyocera, Kokusai, NEC, Pioneer, Sanyo, and Sharp. For more information, please visit DSPC's Web site at dspc.com.
