Integrated Platform for Mobile Phones

( 1 Oct 2006 )

Texas Instruments Inc. announces a product that integrates mobile WLAN (mWLAN), Bluetooth and FM stereo audio all in a space-saving platform for mobile phones. As the fifth generation of TI's mWLAN platform, the WiLink 5.0 product provides a quick time to market for handset manufacturers and satisfies the consumer demand for rapid data access, mobile entertainment and seamless connectivity between the WLAN and cellular networks. The company brings cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity to consumers with VoWLAN functionality, optimized on TI's OMAP-Vox and WiLink solutions, enabling UMA on the handset across multiple operating systems. UMA provides consumers on-the-go voice access over WLAN or the cellular network using their mobile phones, and will transition to IMS as the fixed mobile convergence market matures.
