About DigRF The DigRF digital interface standard defines an efficient physical interconnection between baseband and RF integrated circuits for digital cellular terminals. It ensures that ICs (Integrated Circuits) complying with the standard can, when correctly configured, always communicate with each other, leading to an open market in digital terminal components. The standard places as few constraints on the internal architectures of the ICs themselves as possible to allow suppliers space for competition based on innovation and efficient design. The standard currently addresses 2.5G GSM (E-GPRS to slot class 12); work is in progress on a new version of the standard covering 3G. It has been defined and published by the Digital Interface Working Group. For more information see www.digrf.com About EDGE EDGE is an enhancement of previous networks to triple the data speeds for multimedia and Internet access. Higher data rates are ideal for feature phones, smart phones, PDAs, PC cards and wireless modules. Reader Inquiry Response: Freescale Semiconductor P.O.
