Oriental market advances in technology every day and of course mobile tech is included. Let’s see some cool news from Japan and China.
From Japan:
NTT Docomo, Renesas, Fujitsu, and Sharp announced they plan to jointly develop the SH-Mobile G4 single-chip LSI device and a platform that will incorporate it. It will support the HSUPA/HSDPA/W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE (2G) mobile telephony standards, and its development will finish in January-March 2010.
It will provide enhanced functionality and performance for applications handling HD video and 3D graphics. It will support HSDPA for extra-fast downlink speeds (max. 7.2 Mbps), and HSUPA to boost uplink speeds to a maximum of 5.7 Mbps, that is almost 15 times faster than the conventional 384kbps speeds. So data transfers will be much faster.
NTT Docomo and Renesas work together on SH-Mobile G series of single-chip LSI devices project since 2004, which integrate a baseband processor that supports dual-mode communication and an application processor. This will be the fourth product they work on, adding Fujitsu and Sharp as partners.
