Renesas Technology Corp., in semiconductor system solutions, announced that the SH-Mobile G1, a dual mode single chip LSI developed jointly with NTT DoCoMo, that supports both the W-CDMA (3G) and GSM/GPRS (2G) communication standards, has been selected for the new FOMA 903i W-CDMA mobile phone handsets by NTT DoCoMo.
The SH-Mobile G1 aims to lower costs and accelerate the adoption of W-CDMA mobile phone handsets such as FOMA mobile phones. It is a single-chip device combining a dual-band LSI with the SH-Mobile application processor from Renesas Technology. It also fuses W-CDMA technology from NTT DoCoMo with sophisticated LSI production technology and multimedia application technology from Renesas Technology, while also delivering high performance and low power consumption.
Ikuya Kawasaki, deputy general manager of system solution business unit 2 at Renesas Technology Corp., commented, "I am extremely pleased that the SH-Mobile G1 has been selected for the new F903i and D903i handsets supporting NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA service. We plan to work actively in the years ahead to develop new mobile phone platforms for the W-CDMA market, including FOMA, using the SH-Mobile G Series as the core."
