Comsys and CCww Complete Development of Joint EDGE/GSM/GPRS Solution.CANNES, France -- Comsys Communication and Signal Processing See DSP. , a leader in baseband solutions for emerging cellular markets, and Communications Consultants Worldwide Ltd. (CCww), experts in wireless 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). solutions, announced today that they have completed development of a joint high performance platform solution for EDGE/GSM/GPRS mobile terminals. The fully integrated and tested joint solution comprises CCww's low-footprint EDGE/GSM/GPRS protocol stack with Comsys' high-performance 3GBB GBB Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute (The Netherlands) GBB Gas Blow Back GBB General Broadband GBB Globe Broadband baseband reference design. The integrated solution enables customers to bring new mobile baseband chips, platforms and devices to market, with an outstanding combination of high-performance and short Time To Market. This competitive advantage is attractive to both new entrants and existing players, searching for a cost-effective path to next-generation products. Early design wins have reinforced this competitive lead. "Working with Comsys has proven both the high level of expertise that exists within our companies and our ability to work closely together to tight deadlines. This combination has ensured sector-leading performance coupled with early delivery of the integrated solution," said Richard Carter, Managing Director and Founder of CCww.
