DOCOMO, NEC, Panasonic Mobile Communications and Fujitsu have developed a chip that supports multiple communication standards

The Japanese company NTT DOCOMO, INC., NEC Corporation, Panasonic Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. and Fujitsu Limited today announced the joint development of the chip and the software to it, which has a small size, high efficiency and supports multiple communication standards: GSM, W-CDMA, HSPA + and LTE.

To date, complete evaluation of the effectiveness of engineering samples of the new chip, as well as all the necessary tests for compatibility with all major camera equipment suppliers.

As the developers of this product, it was created in order to release single-chip solution to support multiple communications standards, without having to use multiple chips to individual communications standards. This led to eventually reduce energy consumption by 20%, and the cost of the final product.

In the future, the above four partner companies are going to continue to develop multi-standard chip, which in future will be compatible with the standard next-generation LTE-Advanced.
