Comsys Integrates Conexant RF Board Into Its EDGE Technology Platforms; EDGE Handset Units Now One Step Closer.Business Editors & Technology Writers HERZELIA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2002 Comsys Communications & Signal Processing See DSP. Ltd., a leader in physical layer solutions for emerging cellular standards, announced today that it has fully integrated Conexant Systems Inc.'s CX74017 direct conversion transceiver with Comsys' EDGEware(TM) solution. Comsys recently utilized Conexant's board for its real-life EDGE demonstration at the 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. Show, March 2002. As mobile station manufacturers seek easy-to-implement and cost effective paths to upgrade from GSM/GPRS to EDGE networks, Comsys' EDGEware(TM) software based platform offers the answer. The successful integration and demonstration of EDGEware(TM) with the CX74017 platform strengthens Comsys team's core competencies and shows that the EDGEware(TM) platform is ready for implementation. "EDGE is an exciting technology that offers operators a simple transition to the next generation of cellular services," said Moiz Beguwala, senior vice president and general manger for Conexant's Wireless Communications Division. "Comsys offers a state of the art solution which, when coupled with our RF platform, will quicken handset manufacturer's time to market." Comsys EVP EVP Executive Vice President EVP EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve Position Sensor EVP Electronic Voice Phenomenon EVP Europäische Volkspartei (Germany) EVP Employee Value Proposition Sales & Marketing, Mr. Ronny Gorlicki, said, "EDGE is HERE -- today. Using Conexant's RF, Comsys has proven again that we can provide an EDGE enabled solution for handset manufacturers, and do so today. We are excited to be working with Conexant platforms and look forward to further cooperation in the near future." In Comsys' EDGEware(TM) demonstration, a SMIQ base station emulator modulated a data stream (a real life digital picture) and transmitted it over an EDGE air interface to Conexant CX74017 direct conversion transceiver and then to Comsys' software-based modem. The working demo showcased and contrasted today's 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 accomplishing up to six times faster data transmission rates. EDGEware(TM) is a baseband physical layer software solution incorporating the latest wireless data transmission EDGE standards. EDGEware 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 standards 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. GSM by implementing a state-of-the-art equalizer and patented high-efficiency innovative algorithms. EDGEware is highly tunable to different system aspects such as different RF impairments and protocol stack interfaces.
