The platform is a comprehensive silicon-to-software solution for building smart 2.5G global systems for mobile communication/general packet radio service (GSM/GPRS) wireless handsets.

The scalable, integrated platform combines a chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration).  with a development environment, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology.
