US / China : COMMIT Incorporated and SKY MobileMedia announced that COMMIT has licensed the SKY-MAPTM Mobile Applications Software Platform for use with COMMIT’s dual-mode TD-SCDMA/GPRS chipset solutions.

Under this agreement, COMMIT’s TD-SCDMA chipsets and hardware reference boards will be pre-integrated with the SKY-MAPTM Mobile Applications Software Platform. The resulting complete 3G multimedia handset reference solutions will reduce time and R&D costs for manufacturers as they design and launch devices using China’s TD-SCDMA wireless standard.

“With the rapidly accelerating deployment of TD-SCDMA networks in China, our customers require pre-integrated hardware plus software solutions that reduce time-to-market for TD-SCDMA wireless multimedia handsets,” stated Evan Yu, CEO of COMMIT. “The integration of SKY-MAP with COMMIT’s advanced chipset technology creates the industry-leading TD-SCDMA reference solution, enabling handset manufacturers to quickly develop and launch feature-rich 3G handsets.”

The SKY-MAP software solution for 3G multimedia phones based on COMMIT’s TD-SCDMA chipsets includes the market-tested SKY-MMI providing call management and PIM functions, SMS, support for multiple Asian and European languages, as well as market-proven SKY-MAP applications and middleware engines for Browsing and MMS. The SKY-MAP solution also includes music, camera, video support and multimedia streaming which will take advantage of the high data rates enabled by COMMIT’s TD-SCDMA technology. Modular SKY-MAP applications and engines for EMAIL, DRM, data synchronization, Java, and 2D graphics such as Flash-lite and SVG are also available. In addition, the solution is supported by SKY’s powerful RapidPLUS development and customization tools, enabling handset OEMs and ODMs to rapidly design and test highly-differentiated and uniquely branded TD-SCDMA 3G handsets.

“We are very pleased that COMMIT has chosen SKY-MAP as their applications software platform,” stated Naser Partovi, CEO of SKY MobileMedia. “TD-SCDMA is poised for rapid growth, and COMMIT is at the forefront of this wireless technology. Partnering together, SKY and COMMIT are taking a leadership position in this exciting new 3G market.”

Availability

The 3G multimedia phone reference design including the COMMIT dual-mode TD-SCDMA/GPRS chipset and the SKY-MAP applications platform is currently available for new handset development, with first production devices expected in 1H2008.
