Enfora L.P. Announces Enabler(TM) IIIG (GSM/GPRS) OEM Module Platform.

PLANO, Texas -- Enfora, L.P., a leading provider of wireless voice and data devices, today announced that it has selected Texas Instruments DRP(TM)-based single-chip cell phone technology for incorporation into its next generation Enfora Enabler(TM) III OEM modules. The Enabler(TM) IIIG is a quad band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM/GPRS module that provides an optimized platform for low cost cell phones, machine-to-machine (M2M) data centric systems, and Location Based Services (LBS) applications, where small form factor and tightly integrated solutions are required to meet the market demands. Measuring only 28mm x 30mm x 3.1mm, the new Enabler(TM) module will be one of the smallest quad band modules on the market. The new module is expected to be available beginning in 4Q06.

The Enabler(TM) IIIG utilizes TI's single-chip cell phone technology platform, code named "LoCosto." Developed through TI's advanced 90nm CMOS manufacturing technology, LoCosto integrates the bulk of handset electronics onto a single chip to dramatically reduce cost, power requirements, board area, and silicon area - performance factors that are crucial for high-volume entry-level mobile phones.

"TI is pleased that Enfora has chosen our LoCosto solution for the Enabler IIIG module. By leveraging TI's system level expertise and cost-efficient LoCosto solution, Enfora has developed a highly optimized device for the mass-market voice-centric marketplace," said Remi El-Ouazzane, TI director, 2.5G business.

The Enabler(TM) IIIG is the next evolution of the popular Enabler(TM) II series of OEM GSM/GPRS modules that have been integrated into a variety of handset, M2M, and AVL devices. Building upon previous module designs and using TI's wireless system level expertise, the Enabler(TM) IIIG is optimized for wireless devices that require fully integrated GSM/GPRS voice and data capabilities. The Enabler(TM) IIIG incorporates all the software functionality resident in the Enabler(TM) IIG series of OEM modules, including TCP/IP, UDP (PAD), CMUX, a full suite of AT commands, AMR, SIM Toolkit, and Enfora's auto-activation and event-driven I/O Engine to assist integrators in incorporating their M2M applications within the module.

"Enfora is excited to offer our customers the ability to move their products to the next generation of TI wireless silicon technology through a highly integrated, exceptionally compact OEM module," said Jeff Newman, Enfora Sr. Vice President of Business Development. "Because the module contains the necessary functionality to operate on all worldwide GSM/GPRS networks, and is fully certified to GCF and PTCRB requirements, we believe it offers companies a key time-to-market advantage for new product introductions."
