Novel digital baseband technology for W-CDMA 3.5G marks the completion of a new communications platform for mobile handsets.

Adcore-Tech, a joint venture between NEC, NEC Electronics, Matsushita Electric, Panasonic Mobile Communications and Texas Instruments, has developed a new digital baseband technology for W-CDMA 3.5G The new technology marks the completion of a new communications platform for mobile handsets, which Adcore-Tech has begun licensing to partner companies for development of mobile handset communications chips

Adcore-Tech was established in 2006 to carry out the global development, design, and technology licensing of a hardware and software communications platform to manage the core communications functions for mobile handsets targeting third generation (3G/3.5G) and beyond.

The licensed architecture employs multiple small-scale digital signal processors to simultaneously achieve high peak performance, low power consumption, low cost and high portability.

The new architecture further supports the evolution of mobile handsets with higher communication speed and enhanced functionality, by providing a robust solution extendable to HSDPA and HSUPA, and a design that minimises mutual interference between existing systems such as GSM and future systems such as LTE.
