“The U350 and U360 platforms are the smallest and most powerful 3.6 Mbps HSDPA solutions on the market today,” says Jörgen Lantto, vice president and head of Strategic Product Management at Ericsson Mobile Platforms. “With our solution, handset manufactures will be able to integrate HSDPA capabilities in mass-market mobile phones.”
The platforms are designed with true mass-market volumes in mind, with a strong focus on size, cost and performance. Ericsson Mobile Platforms is now delivering U350 and U360 based reference designs to customers.
Lantto says: “Handset manufacturers using our existing solutions will be able to reuse existing application software and will be able to quickly integrate the HSDPA-enabled platforms into phones. We expect the first commercial phones using these platforms to be launched later this year.”
