ST-Ericsson Brings Higher Value to Entry Level Touch Screen Handsets
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Affordable touch screen platform supports Wi-Fi, EDGE and Dual-SIM, Dual-Standby
Geneva, February 14, 2011 - ST-Ericsson, a world leader in wireless platforms
and semiconductors, has unveiled a single-chip handset platform that will bring
down the cost of entry multimedia, touch screen phones. Able to connect to both
EDGE and Wi-Fi networks, the E4915 can also support two SIM-cards
simultaneously, enabling consumers to make and receive calls over two different
mobile networks.
With a very low bill of materials and extremely low power consumption, the E4915
is designed to make mobile multimedia services and Internet accessible to a
broader range of people. Equipped with a powerful processor and interface with
fast Dual Data Rate (DDR) memory, the platform can also support a large haptic
touch screen, a 3 megapixel camera and a camcorder.
"Our new platform raises the bar for entry-level multimedia handsets, making an
array of attractive features available at a very competitive price-point," said
Thierry Tingaud, senior vice president, Entry Solutions and Connectivity
division of ST-Ericsson. "In this platform, we have achieved a unique level of
integration that will enable many more people to purchase a Dual-SIM Dual-
Standby handset capable of delivering an exciting social networking and web
browsing experience."
Set to be used in commercial handsets by the second half of 2011, the E4915 also
supports dual microphones, enabling significant background noise reduction and
Voice services over Adaptive Multi-user channels on One Slot (VAMOS), a 3GPP
initiative to double the voice capacity of GSM networks and USIM allowing
support of 3G SIM card for extended compatibility.
