Comsys Launches EGGware, a new baseband system IP (Intellectual Property) platform targeting the growing EDGE/GPRS/GSM market

Comsys EGGware™ Optimizes Multi-Mode Platforms

22 February 2004 - 3GSM World Congress, Cannes, Hall 2, Booth D7- Comsys Communication and Signal Processing (www.comsysmobile.com), a leader in baseband solutions for emerging cellular markets, announced today the launch of EGGware™, a new baseband system IP (Intellectual Property) platform targeting the growing EDGE/GPRS/GSM market. Comsys, already leaders in EDGE technologies for the mobile market, have now integrated high performance algorithms and protocol stack for GSM/GPRS to provide a more inclusive solution for mobile terminals.

Comsys’ EGGware for EDGE/GPRS/GSM full system solutions enable ODMs, OEMs and silicon vendors to rapidly and cost-effectively integrate them into a wide variety of handsets and baseband chips. Designed specifically as a full multi-protocol system, EGGware eliminates inefficiencies and faults that typically result from patches on legacy solutions. This competitive advantage is attractive to both new entrants and existing players searching for a cost-effective path to next-generation products.

EGGware guarantees optimal performance and provides high performance of 2-8dB above standard requirements. Its advanced algorithms enable designers to minimize resource allocation, such as memory size, gate count and power, allowing resources to be allocated to other tasks.

Elkana Ben-Sinai, Comsys CEO commented, ”Comsys’ new EGG solution is a significant addition to our portfolio as we move forward and actually ahead of the market. Designed to support multi-mode architecture – which is the path to full 3G networks, this full solution, with an additional UMTS block, demonstrates our commitment to a technological roadmap that will enhance offerings by ODMs and OEMs in a market seeking more advantages.”

Comsys Communication and Signal Processing Ltd. provides a complete licensable baseband solution for EDGE, GPRS, GSM and UMTS. Comsys and its partners offer integrated baseband system IP solutions including the complete physical layer and protocol stack (L1/2/3) as well as the underlying system hardware. These solutions have already been ported onto multiple DSP platforms.

Comsys' customers include leading players in the cellular industry, tier 1 chip-makers, major handset vendors and base station manufacturers. Comsys is Texas Instruments' technology partner, integrating EDGE into TI chipsets. Holding more than twenty patents in modem technology, DSP algorithms and optimized hardware accelerator modules, Comsys continually strives for technological excellence.
