QUALCOMM and SanDisk announce support for miniSD and SD card removable storage for 3G CDMA devices".QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM QCOM Qualcomm, Inc. (stock symbol) ), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. ) digital wireless technology, and SanDisk Corporation (Nasdaq: SNDK), the world's largest supplier of flash memory cards, recently announced support for removable miniSD and SD cards in QUALCOMM Mobile Station Modem (MSM MSM - Micronetics Standard MUMPS ) chipsets. Beginning with the MSM6100 and including the MSM6250, MSM6275, MSM6300 and MSM6500 chipsets, QUALCOMM's chipsets and system software will fully support the SD card architecture. SanDisk, a leading provider of SD and miniSD cards The miniSD Card is a removable and portable memory device intended for use in cell phones/mobile phones, digital cameras, MP3 players and many other gadgets. Announced for the first time by SanDisk Corporation at CeBIT 2003, the miniSD , worked closely with QUALCOMM to facilitate this enhancement. By adding miniSD/SD card memory integration, consumers can store digital photos, navigational maps, audio and video clips, games, music and other entertainment and enterprise files in a variety of downloadable file formats on their SD-enabled wireless devices. "We're pleased to provide support for SanDisk's removable memory cards, storage solutions that enhance the multimedia and position location applications for our 3G CDMA chipset solutions," said Luis Pineda Luis Pineda is a former Major League Baseball player who pitched for the Detroit Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds. He debuted on August 4, 2001 with the Tigers against the Oakland Athletics and had a perfect line of 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 SO, 0 BB, 0 ER for the night. , vice president of product management for QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "The collaboration between QUALCOMM's chipsets and SanDisk's storage solutions will increase the convenience of storing information on 3G CDMA wireless devices." "QUALCOMM's support of the miniSD/SD card interface in their latest generation chipsets will rapidly accelerate the acceptance of removable storage for mobile phones," said Bo Ericsson, vice president, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and marketing for SanDisk. "Manufacturers using QUALCOMM chipsets with built-in SanDisk SD interface can lower product design time and reduce costs, and having SD or miniSD cards in the phone offers consumers a more personalized per·son·al·ize tr.v. per·son·al·ized, per·son·al·iz·ing, per·son·al·iz·es 1.

The SanDisk miniSD, a thumbnail-sized flash memory card designed to meet the needs of the mobile phone market, is the smallest flash memory card available today. Next-generation mobile phones may rely on miniSD cards to support a broad array of storage-intensive operations, including digital photography, video and audio capture and playback, multimedia messaging, and entertainment. For manufacturers, the miniSD card offers a significant savings in card area and volume--two critical design parameters for newer miniaturized mobile phones. QUALCOMM's MSM6xxx chipsets and system solutions, including those that support the SD card architecture, are all highly integrated solutions that eliminate the need for separate, dedicated multimedia processors. These chipset solutions each support QUALCOMM's Launchpad suite of applications, enabling the development of sophisticated devices that provide high-quality stereo audio, high-resolution in-phone cameras, video recorder/players, 3D graphics for gaming, high-accuracy location tracking and many other features. The MSM6xxx solutions also include QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless BREW is an application development platform created by Qualcomm for mobile phones. It was originally developed for CDMA handsets, but has since been ported to other air interfaces including GSM/GPRS, UMTS, and CDMA. (BREW) platform. With the BREW protocols and tools, handset manufacturers and developers can develop embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. wireless applications and BREW-based products more quickly and easily. These applications and chipset solutions will further drive the adoption of removable storage media on next-generation 3G CDMA wireless products.% |
