Comsys Demos First Ever Working EDGE Handset Software Technology At CTIA Show; Working Solution Bringing EDGE Technology Closer to Fruition.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers CTIA (1) See CompTIA. (2) (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, Washington, DC, www.ctia.org, www.wow-com.com) A membership organization founded in 1984 that is involved with regulatory and public affairs issues in the wireless industry. Wireless 2002 HERZELIA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2002 Comsys Communications & Signal Processing See DSP. Ltd., a leader in physical layer solutions for emerging cellular standards, announced today that it has successfully developed a DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive based EDGE (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) physical layer for handsets and base stations integrated with RF platforms. Comsys is demonstrating the first-ever working EDGE software solution in booth # 4269, at the CTIA Show in Orlando, FL, USA, 18-20 March 2002. Comsys' solution, marketed under the EDGEware(TM) name, is the world's first working physical layer software solution that optimizes data traffic over EDGE cellular networks. Cost effective and high performance, EDGEware(TM) will enable heavy data users to use their mobile terminals for receiving and transmitting large amounts of data. For both handset vendors and operators, this will encourage the acceptance of the emerging EDGE standard and enable them to offer more value added Value Added The enhancement a company gives its product or service before offering the product to customers. Notes: This can either increase the products price or value. applications and services. At the core of Comsys' solution are DSP-based algorithms integrating a handset's digital, analog, and physical layer characteristics in a powerful yet efficient software code to enable maximum resource utilization. This software based solution yields increased functionality and superior flexibility per application so that packets of data can be pushed faster through the handset thereby enhancing the end-users total experience. In addition, with a software core, updating the technology has never been so simple. Ronny Gorlicki, Comsys' Executive VP of Sales & Marketing remarked, "EDGE is HERE -- today, and our working model is a proof. With US operators ordering close to six billion dollars worth of EDGE equipment, and with Asian and European operators searching for price conscious investments in new technologies, the evolution of cellular technologies will be ready sooner than expected and EDGE will be at the forefront." Gorlicki added, "Together with our partners, we are working hard to forge a path in making EDGEware the de-facto standard for physical layer EDGE technology." For the demonstration, Comsys is combining different sets of emulators, both handset and base station, with a series of RF (radio frequency) boards to provide a working EDGE model. The working demo will contrast GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. technologies vs. next generation EDGE technologies and show that faster data transmission, by a magnitude of up to six times, is already here. EDGEware(TM) is a baseband physical layer software solution incorporating the latest wireless data transmission EDGE standard. EDGEware(TM) offers fast and easy migration from GSM/GPRS to EDGE while reducing the costs of integration and shortening time shortening time n. an order of the court in response to the motion of a party to a lawsuit which allows setting a motion or other legal matter at a time shorter than provided by law or court rules. to market. Comsys' solution outperforms EDGE standard requirements as specified by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe.

EDGEware(TM) is also highly tunable to different system aspects such as different RF impairments and 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). interfaces.
