Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:IDCC IDCC Integrated Dual-use Commercial Companies ) today announced the availability of an integrated, standards-compliant, dual-mode 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) and 3G (UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. ) protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). for integration into mobile terminal devices. The complete dual-mode protocol stack is available for integration with existing dual-mode baseband solutions. Alternatively, the single-mode 3G stack can be integrated with existing GSM/GPRS/EDGE designs. Key features of the solution include the following items: --Global Certification Forum (GCF gcf abbr. greatest common factor ) -certified legacy 2G protocol stack with 75 type approvals and interoperability tested by more than 80 operators in 40 countries; --2G/3G dual-mode protocol stack completed ten interoperability tests with major equipment producers and operators; --2G/3G dual-mode protocol stack GCF certification expected in early Q1 2006; --High data throughput performance - customer-based interoperability tests validated peak data rates of 384 kbps in UMTS offerings; --Adaptable to future releases including UMTS Release 5 scheduled in Q1 2006 and UMTS Release 6 scheduled in the second half of 2006; --Seamless handover n. 1. The act of relinquishing property or authority etc. to another; as, the handover of occupied territory to the original posssessors; the handover of power from the military back to the civilian authorities s>. between GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS networks Beginning in 2003 under the name 3, Hutchison Whampoa, a large port operator, has gradually launched their startup UMTS networks worldwide including Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden. . "A key initiative for us has been to create a comprehensive product offering that we can offer to terminal unit manufacturers in a complimentary fashion with our strong patent portfolio," noted William J. Merritt, InterDigital's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The recent licensing of legacy GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology from Infineon Technologies For the raceway, see . Infineon Technologies AG (ISIN: DE0006231004, FWB: IFX, NYSE: IFX) was founded in April 1999 when the semiconductor operations of parent company, Siemens AG, were spun off to form a separate legal entity. AG (Infineon) completes a high value dual-mode protocol stack that both expands the target market for our product offerings and creates new synergistic offerings for handset licensees." InterDigital's integrated dual-mode protocol stack is comprised of Infineon's 2G protocol stack and the 3G protocol stack co-developed by InterDigital and Infineon. InterDigital offers full customer support from initial integration through product introduction. To learn more about InterDigital's technology and products, contact sales@interdigital.com.
