CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 1999--DSP Communications, Inc. (NYSE:DSP) today announced that its sixth generation PDC chipsets are featured in the world's lightest handset manufactured by Kyocera Corp. Weighing only 59 grams, the new Digital Minimo 533G handset of IDO Corp. is now available to consumers in Japan. A similar model is scheduled to be provided to DDI Cellular Group in the near future. "The introduction of Kyocera's new IDO 533G handset demonstrates how DSPC is using its baseband chipset expertise to reduce the weight, size and power consumption of wireless handsets," said Arnon Kohavi, Senior VP, Strategic Relations for DSPC. "We will continue to provide manufacturers with state of the art wireless technology enabling our customers to remain leaders in handset design." "We are very pleased with the performance of DSPC's PDC chipset which enables our handsets to achieve record talk and standby times, low power consumption and light weight," said Yoshifumi Haga, Communication and Information Systems Group General Manager, Mobile Communications Equipment Division of Kyocera Corp. Kyocera's new IDO Digital Minimo 533G handset is designed using DSPC's latest PDC baseband chipset and offers up to 120 minutes of continuous talk time and 250 hours in standby mode. At 59 grams (approx. 2 ounces), the 533G PDC handset is currently the lightest handset in the world. The new handset also has a width of only 14mm (0.55 in.) at its thinnest section making it extraordinarily thin in comparison to existing PDC handsets available. Japanese carrier IDO Corp. has already publicly announced the availability of the new PDC handset within its service areas. The launch of this new handset reinforces Kyocera's position as a leading wireless handset provider.
