ST-Ericsson and its Chinese subsidiary T3G have strengthened their strategic partnership with Samsung Mobile by providing the first TD-HSDPA and EDGE platform for Samsung's recently launched high-end devices, "Emerald (GC-I6320C)," enabling Chinese consumers to enjoy high-speed mobile internet on their multimedia phones.
"This commercial launch by Samsung is a significant step in the development of TD SCDMA-based data services in China," said Alain Dutheil, President and CEO of ST-Ericsson. "Our strategic partnership with Samsung will allow consumers to enjoy a unique broadband experience through their mobile handsets, enabling them to take full advantage of China's mobile broadband future."
ST-Ericsson's multimedia platform T7210 powers Samsungs feature-rich and stylish "Emerald (GC-I6320C)." The high-end TD HSDPA/EDGE dual-mode, dual-band device is capable of supporting downlink speeds of up to 2.8Mbps. ST-Ericsson platforms' flexible dual-mode design enables seamless automatic handover between EDGE and TD-HSDPA networks, making the most efficient use of network resources whenever possible. This allows consumers to use the same mobile device to take advantage of widespread EDGE coverage for high-quality voice throughout China, and also enjoy fast internet browsing, streaming video, GPS-based positioning services, and access to social networks over TD-HSDPA networks when in range.
The T7210 solution supports TD-SCDMA dual-band 2010-2025MHz/1880-1920MHz frequencies, and has successfully completed handovers of voice and high speed data services in order to operate optimally in Chinese dual-band network environments.
