Collaboration aims to make it easier to integrate wireless connectivity onto mobile phone platforms
CSR is collaborating with Infineon Technologies to pre-integrate its wireless connectivity platforms onto Infineon's cellular reference designs. According to CSR, its connectivity platforms will allow Infineon's customers to deliver improved features and functionality, including sharing audio, pictures, videos, music and data, and connecting to devices such as mobile phones, computers and media players.
Matthew Philips (pictured), senior vice president of CSR's Handset Business Unit, said: "This collaboration with Infineon will allow phone manufacturers to quickly and easily integrate Wi-Fi connectivity with minimum development time or expenditure. The design simplicity is made possible using our CSR Synergy wireless systems software, which also provides the end users with a truly seamless wireless experience."
CSR's connectivity platforms feature Bluetooth and Wi-Fi which are unified through the use of CSR Synergy software to deliver wireless connectivity. Targeted at a variety of types of handsets, the Infineon platforms incorporate integrated basebands with specifications designed to deliver full multimedia experiences.
The integrated platforms will be available in 2011.
