A group of mobile phone networks and manufacturers are cooperating to develop a new 3G platform that can combine various hardware and hardware standards that ultimately shorten time and lower design costs. new phone.

Specifically, the joint development of NTT DoCoMo, Renesas Technology, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Sharp and Sony Ericsson will support both HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) and W-CDMA (Broadband encrypted access ), from GSM (Global mobile telecommunications system) to GPRS (general radio packet service) and EDGE.

The new 3G platform will be available at the end of 2008 images 1 Source: AP New mobile phone models will be able to work "well" anywhere in the world, with significantly cheaper rates and costs than current 3G models.

Not only does the communication function support, the new platform also has basic frequency processor, application processor with multimedia features. In addition, it also integrates the operating system, which Symbian will be selected to support first.

The coalition hopes to complete the development of the new platform in the second quarter of 2008. This is the third initiative promoted by this alliance, two previous projects that support a W-CDMA platform with GSM / GPRS and a platform that integrates many different software standards.
By contributing to the development of a common platform, phone companies will not have to spend money developing separate components. This allows them to shorten the time and cost of designing new products, while also focusing on the most unique and attractive features.
