StarCore licenses its DSP platforms to Infineon to power
next-generation mobile communications products
AUSTIN (USA), 13 (PRNewswire)
To optimize the performance, efficiency and cost of products
designed for next-generation wireless handset applications, the
business group, Secure Mobile Solutions at Infineon Technologies, AG
(NYSE: IFX; Frankfurt) is licensing StarCore LLC's portfolio of DSP
cores and platforms. The Infineon group plans to use StarCore's DSP
technology as an integral part of its embedded systems and platforms
that will be used to drive 2.5G and 3G wireless handsets and other
communications products.
Advanced handsets and other mobile communications equipment
require tremendous processing capability to handle the high volume of
information flow commanded by advanced features such as video capture
and transfer, Internet browsing, gaming and other data-intensive
applications. Efficient processing is especially critical in the
wireless arena where battery life is limited and code density becomes
a factor. StarCore's licensable DSP cores and subsystems are
scaleable, synthesizable and easy to program to help communications
original equipment manufacturers and system-on-a-chip designers meet
these ever-increasing performance demands.
StarCore's software-compatible roadmap and excellent software
development support helps to accelerate the time to market. Easy code
portability is key for wireless applications and StarCore has
organized its products and services to make the technology adoption
process seamless and easy to integrate.
"The designs we have produced based on the StarCore DSP
technology have been very well received by our customers and we look
forward to extending our range of StarCore DSP-based products," said
Klaus Hau, Vice President, Wide Area Wireless Unit, Secure Mobile
Solutions Group, Infineon Technologies AG. "The StarCore DSP core
will enable us to add additional features that our customers,
particularly in the mobile handset space, are demanding."
"We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Infineon
through this long-term agreement," said Tom Lantzsch, CEO of StarCore
LLC. "Infineon's decision to license StarCore technology for their
next generation of communication devices endorses the performance and
value proposition of our products. It also serves to validate our
business model. Buying well- supported DSP intellectual property
rather than making it yourself is a smart business decision."
Financial details of the licensing agreement were not disclosed.
