Mobile platform leaves door open for upgrades
Ajar is a new applications platform for mobile phone manufacturers and network operators.
Framework opens door for speedy 3G deployment
Asustek Computer has developed a wide range of 3G handsets based on TTPCom's dual mode 3GSM technology and application suite.
The first results from this agreement will be platforms for low cost, high performance devices and multimedia feature phones.
As the cellular industry strives to sign up the next billion subscribers, a critical success factor will be to offer cost-effective handsets with features customised accurately and quickly for different market segments.
Delivering these profitably requires flexible hardware and software configurations, from the processor to the protocol stack and the applications.
Ajar has been designed from the outset to address this opportunity as it provides a powerful but low power framework without the additional hardware or costs required by mobile operating systems.
As a result, handset manufacturers using Ajar can address low to high end handsets with a single investment in applications.
This not only reduces development costs per handset but also substantially reduces their time to market.
Integration is made easier as the technology is delivered as a prevalidated and tightly integrated package.
Tony Milbourn, Managing Director of TTPCom comments: "Delivering Ajar on TI's platform represents a step change for the industry as it solves a real problem for handset manufacturers".
"Our applications platform on TI's market-leading 2.5G solutions extends the choice and flexibility available to the industry".
"As a result, customers will be able to create 'a la carte' handsets based on the most appropriate combination of technologies for each model while maintaining a single investment in applications".
Alain Mutricy, Vice president and General Manager of Cellular Systems at TI adds: "TI is pleased to work with TTPCom to speed the development of low cost, feature rich handsets".
"It has become increasingly important to provide an integrated, pre-tested and validated application suite on TI's chipset platforms to reduce time to market for our customers".
"This agreement with TTPCom is one element of TI's multipronged strategy to address this customer requirement".
"Ajar's flexibility and robustness make it the right choice to support the carrier-grade market".
