Broadcom Introduces 3G Phone Chip

Communications chip maker Broadcom Corp. said it has developed a single-chip processor for 3G phones ahead of its rivals. Broadcom said the multifunction HSPA, or high-speed packet access, chip will allow mobile phone manufacturers to build sleek 3G phones with a long battery life at a fraction of the cost of the technologies they currently use.

The new "3G phone on a Chip" solution will bring technology typically found in today's high-end multimedia smartphones to feature phones. Not stopping there, however, phones powered by the new Broadcom solution will allow consumers to download content at up to 7.2 Mbps and upload content at up to 5.8 Mbps via HSDPA and HSUPA, respectively. Such a capability holds the key to for instance turn mediocre "one-way" video calling services into full-fledged video conferencing.

The 3G "Phone on a Chip" supports four cellular networks, can transmit and receive FM radio for playing music on a car stereo, features advanced multimedia processing, Bluetooth technology and up to five megapixel camera support.
