Intrinsyc Launches RapidRIL, Announces First Licensee
(Business News & Technology News, 15 Aug 2008)
Wireless software solutions provider Intrinsyc Software International Inc. has launched RapidRIL, a radio interface layer technology, and announced it's first customer, advanced mobile broadband modem solutions developed InterDigital Inc., through its operating subsidiary InterDigital Communications LLC. InterDigital has licensed RapidRIL to support its SlimChip Reference Platform for Windows Mobile devices.
As the market continues to advance beyond existing technologies, the increased complexity to implement the radio network functionality, or the radio interface layer, in handheld devices can extend development time. Optimized for second and third generation (2.5G/3G) Windows Mobile handsets, RapidRIL will allow InterDigital to deliver a complete, pre-integrated telephony solution with its SlimChip Reference Platform. This eases implementation efforts for its customers, reducing time-to-market.
RapidRIL delivers successive time and cost savings as well as flexibility by allowing developers to work on different aspects of the radio interface layer simultaneously and by extending feature sets and adapting different handset architectures without in-depth recoding. Additionally, RapidRIL supports multiple control and data channels that can be customized for a specific handset and used to enable various features with minimal code rewrite. Its key benefits include: - ability to support multiple radio devices and SIM devices; - potential to isolate more time-consuming functions, thereby improving the user experience; and, - ability to add simple commands to enable features such as location-based services.
