The new company is engaged in development and design of baseband LSIs for mobile phones. Renesas Technology expects 3G handsets will account for around 50% of the total handset The part of the telephone that contains the speaker and the microphone. On a desktop phone, the part you hold in your hand is the handset. On a cellphone, the entire phone is the handset. See multihandset cordless and headset. market by 2010. The range of advanced functions and complexity of 3G handsets is increasing, while at the same time product life cycles are becoming shorter and product offerings are growing more diverse. As a result, the development load and time pressures on mobile phone manufacturers and software developers are becoming serious issues. In response, Renesas Technology is shifting its business model from one based on supplying devices alone to one focusing on system platforms, including basic system technology and software. Renesas Technology has been supplying system LSIs for mobile phones since the company's establishment. Under the SH-Mobile* product line, Renesas Technology has developed, manufactured, and sold application processors designed to connect to any baseband LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. . The ability to offer system platforms is considered essential to meeting the future demands of the market. Therefore, Renesas Technology has decided to establish the new design company to meet these needs. Renesas Technology plans to develop system platforms with mobile phones manufacturers and make full use of the new design company. A single-chip implementation of a baseband LSI and SH-Mobile with NTT Docomo (NTT Mobile Communications Network, Inc., Japan) Founded in 1991, NTT DoCoMo is a spinoff of Japan's NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) which provides wireless services, including cellular, paging, satellite and maritime and in-flight telephone services. , Inc., slated for completion in the first half of 2006, is one example. The employees of the new company have transferred from the platform division of MELCO MELCO Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) MELCO Micro Electronics Company, Ltd (Mumbai, India) Mobile Communications Europe S Europe (y  r`əp), 6th largest continent, c.4,000,000 sq mi (10,360,000 sq km) including adjacent islands (1992 est. pop. 512,000,000). .A., a mobile phone
development company of Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社 Corporation. This step was
taken to get the new enterprise up and running as quickly as possible.The establishment of the new subsidiary will enhance the ability of Renesas Technology to provide total solutions tailored to the needs of the market by adding baseband LSIs to the company's highly regarded line of SH-Mobile and RF products.
