Condat Licenses Its UMTS Protocol Stack to Zyray Wireless.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2002 The Berlin-based technology company Condat AG has sold a development license for its 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). software to Zyray Wireless, a San Diego-based start-up developing the SPINNER family of GSM/GPRS & 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. baseband IP and ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. products for next generation mobile devices. The agreement contains an option to upgrade to the dual-mode UMTS and GSM/GPRS license. "In addition to manufacturers of baseband products for digital and analogue data transmission, producers of mobile handsets must also shoulder a significant portion of the development cost involved with such technologies. The Condat UMTS protocol stack reduces costs and time-to-market of the hardware," stated Pedro Schaffer, 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. , Condat AG. "By way of its Generic Target Interface (GTI GTI Gas Technology Institute GTI Global Taxonomy Initiative GTI Good Time Interval GTI Guelph Turfgrass Institute GTI Green Theme International GTI Gordon Training International GTI Georgia Transportation Institute GTI Group Travel Insurance ), the Condat UMTS protocol stack is platform independent and can be ported on several different hardware platforms and real-time operating systems. It brings us several important competitive advantages." Condat offers protocol stacks, which are compatible with 2G and 2.5G as well as 3G dual mode technologies. "Zyray Wireless is pleased to be working with Condat, whose expertise and reputation in the development of protocol stacks makes them a key partner for our company," said Werner Sievers, President and CEO of Zyray Wireless. "We are planning to integrate Condat software into our GSM/GPRS and WCDMA dual-mode baseband chipset." Zyray Wireless will provide a complete reference design for WCDMA and GSM/GPRS dual-mode mobile devices, enabling manufacturers of mobile devices and semiconductors for wireless terminals to efficiently migrate to dual-mode WCDMA solutions. As communication technologies continue to develop, the demand for software/hardware communication solutions supporting multiple air interface standards will increase dramatically. About Zyray Wireless Zyray Wireless is developing the SPINNER family of GSM/GPRS & WCDMA IP and ASIC products. Integrating SPINNER products into baseband semiconductors and mobile devices enables manufacturers to efficiently migrate to dual-mode WCDMA solutions.
