Cellular 3G Joins Forces with Sasken to Introduce at CeBit the First Chip Capable of Supporting 2MB Wireless Connections.Business/Technology Editors HANOVER, GERMANY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2002 Cellular 3G Inc., a provider of silicon solutions for 3G wireless devices, and Sasken Communication Technologies Sasken Communication Technologies Limited (formerly, Silicon Automation Systems, Inc. (SAS)) is a publicly traded (Stock) company based out of Bangalore, India, and offers research and development consultancy, wireless software products and software Limited, the leading supplier of wireless terminal software solutions, today announced at the 16th Annual CeBIT conference in Hanover, Germany that the two companies are working together to bring to market the most feature-rich 3G chip solution available. In another announcement from CeBIT on March 14, "Cellular 3G Unveiled Baseband Chip Breakthrough for 3G Mobile Devices," Cellular 3G unveiled the industry's most power-efficient, high-bit-rate W-CDMA See WCDMA. 3G-baseband chip, TopHat(TM), which it will demonstrate this week in its booth (Hall 12, D79) at the CeBIT exhibition. Under the agreement, Sasken Communication Technologies has licensed its WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. 3G wireless protocol stack to Cellular 3G for the development of a test mobile platform, which will enable testing of next generation 3G wireless networks under the most rigorous conditions. The Test Mobile platform will be used by 3G network equipment designers to test their high-end infrastructure equipment against the most comprehensive set of features defined under the 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol suite of standards and thus enable them to come up with the most advanced base station in the shortest time frames possible. Cellular 3G is focused on the design, implementation and marketing of the industry's most feature rich 3G baseband chip, TopHat, which is fully compliant with class 2.0 Mbps of revision 3 and 4 of the 3GPP suite of standards. The innovative architecture of Cellular 3G's TopHat ensures the lowest power consumption possible in any given mode of a 3G handheld device. "This high-end L1 platform from Cellular 3G, once fully integrated with Sasken's state of the art Protocol Stack, will result in the most advanced tool to test 3G base stations and other network equipment," said Cellular 3G CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Menachem Kenan. "Cellular 3G's fully owned Israeli subsidiary is now focused on the design and marketing of this test tool, which is specifically geared toward coping with the high density characteristic of 3G networks, their very high bit-rate capability and the new order of complexity associated with the packet switch nature of 3G networks." Sasken's WCDMA 3G protocol stack software will be integrated with Cellular 3G's L1 platform. "Having signed up a significant number of wireless terminal semiconductor manufacturers as licensees, we are now expanding our horizons, said Murlikrishnan G, vice president of sales and marketing, Terminals software division of Sasken. "Through this agreement, we are looking forward to our protocol stack solution addressing the needs of the 3G wireless infrastructure manufacturers as a part of one of the most advanced test platforms available in the market. By aligning with us, our customers and partners are assured of a proven solution, which is all set to play a significant role in shaping the future of wireless terminals."
