TTPCom has developed a new platform it says will deliver an unrivalled gaming experience to all parties in the mobile phone community.
Tony Milbourn, Managing Director of TTPCom stated "These agreements are tremendously important to TTPCom - we are seeing an increasing number of Asian customers recognising the benefits of working with us and choosing our technology as the foundation for their new dual-mode products for Europe".
He added, "We have started to establish an industry standard with our stable and proven GSM/GPRS software.
With these new agreements we are building on this strong position to develop a leading business in 3G".
The 3G technology that will be deployed by most of the world's cellular operators will be firmly based on today's GSM/GPRS networks.
TTPCom has a long and successful record of developing GSM technology and in January of this year was the first independent developer to launch a working GPRS platform.
This experience is essential in developing small, reliable and competitive dual-mode terminals, which are capable of operating on both GSM/GPRS and UMTS networks, and therefore providing continuous geographic coverage.
TTPCom has invested heavily in developing 3G technology and in addition to the physical layer and protocol stack developments has a large team working on 3G mobile applications - an area which will revolutionise the user experience of mobile terminals through gaming, m-commerce and video streaming.
TTPCom works with many of the standards organisations and chairs the 3GPP MExE (Mobile Execution Environment) sub-working group, which oversees the development of technology for the downloading of applications into mobile devices.
Tony Milbourn added, "With increasing competition in the global handset market, manufacturers are having to work harder to attract and retain their customers.
Mobile applications are becoming a key differentiating factor and through our work in this area we give our customers the flexibility to develop innovative, market leading products".
