A market, according to ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. Research, that is expected to grow to over 300 million handsets in the next five years. The UniVox Mobile reference design contains all the additional hardware and software to turn a mobile handset into a wirelessly enabled handset that can take and make Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) calls. The hardware element of UniVox Mobile is based on UniFi, CSR's single chip WiFi solution, and also includes Bluetooth functionality via a choice of BlueCore4-ROM or BlueCore5-FM. In addition to supporting VoWiFi, UniVox Mobile also enables WiFi to be used as the bearer for other services, such as web browsing and multimedia streaming. CSR has overcome both of the major challenges faced by manufacturers in building dual mode mobile Dual mode handsets are compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks and are essentially 2 phones in one device. This is different from dual SIM or dual band features.
Some examples of ultra-low power devices:
In head-to-head comparisons, when both WiFi and Bluetooth are used concurrently, data throughput for UniVox Mobile is significantly faster than competitive offerings on the market. By providing both hardware and software elements customers can benefit from fast time to market for dual mode products. Raj Gawera, Marketing Manager for the WiFi Strategic Business Unit, CSR, commented, "It's clear that consumers like the concept of the dual mode phone, however until now it has proved tricky to deliver the power consumption and voice quality that the end customer requires. With these issues overcome, we believe that dual mode phones present a tremendous opportunity for manufacturers. UniVox Mobile has been designed from the bottom up using power saving and coexistence technologies that we have developed specifically to ensure a smooth user experience."
