Spreadtrum: New TD-SCDMA Core Chip Supporting HSDPA


BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 13 // -- The first TD-SCDMA core chip (SC8800H), which supports HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) function, has been recently developed by Spreadtrum Communications in Shanghai, China.

With the HSDPA function, SC8800H can support high speed data download service so that not only the quality of traditional audio & video multimedia services can be highly improved, but also new 3G services as video phone, streaming, 5 mega pixel photographing, unlimited recording time and POC can be realized. More over, it provides a more powerful platform to more services such as mobile banking, stock transactions on handsets. With realization of HSDPA function in TD-SCDMA, users can enjoy more conveniences brought by mobile services, and also it brings much more room for TD-SCDMA application.

SC8800H will be back from the foundry in Feb, 2007. Soon after Spreadtrum will work with its manufacturer partners to develop TD-SCDMA handset with HSDPA function. The initial handsets are expected to be ready around mid of 2007.
