Sharp joins list of handset manufacturers using ST-Ericsson advanced Thor modem
platform
Geneva, Switzerland, December 14, 2011 - ST-Ericsson, a world leader in wireless
platforms and semiconductors, is pleased to announce that Sharp has announced
three new smartphones in Japan based on the ST-Ericsson Thor(TM) M5730 modem.
With its low power consumption, this highly-integrated 21Mbps Thor modem will
enable consumers to spend more time surfing the Internet at high-speeds and less
time worrying about charging the battery.
"We have worked with Sharp for several years and are pleased that they have
selected our Thor M5730 thin modem for their latest smartphones," said Staffan
Iveberg, senior vice president and head of the thin modems solutions division at
ST-Ericsson. "We have had solid traction with our Thor HSPA+ 21Mbps thin modems
at several leading smartphone manufacturers and are pleased to add Sharp to the
list. As evidenced by these new phones, our HSPA+ modem technology is enabling
our customers to produce sleek devices offering both high transmission speeds
and long battery lives."
ST-Ericsson's Thor family of mobile broadband thin modems makes ultra-fast web
browsing and high speed data connectivity ubiquitous, easy and reliable. The
Thor M5730 modem, which brings improvement to the 21Mbps market in size, power
consumption and thermal performance is capable of delivering 21Mbps downstream
and 5.76Mbps upstream simultaneously, and needs no separate flash memory when
combined with an application processor.
The AQUOS PHONE 102SH by Softbank and AQUOS PHONE SH-01D by DOCOMO are available
now in Japan by their respective carriers. The AQUOS PHONE 104SH by Softbank is
expected to be available in spring 2012.
