In a development that may lead to mobile handsets being sold for as little as Rs 1,000, Texas Instruments on Monday launched the world's first single chip solution for cellular phones. This cost-effective single chip for a handset is expected to boost the production of ultra-low-cost mobile phones in emerging markets like India, China and Latin America. "The operations of a mobile phone, which were performed by several chips, have been packed in a single chip, allowing GSM and GPRS phone manufacturers to cut production costs by up to 30 per cent," Chairman of Texas instruments Tom Engibous said after calling the company's facility in France from New Delhi from a mobile phone using the single-chip solution. "Our team in Bangalore has developed this technology, which will help narrow the digital divide. Our customers can use it to make ultra-low-cost handsets affordable in largely untapped consumer markets," he said. According to Engibous, this solution integrated the bulk of handset electronics onto a single chip to reduce cost, power requirements, board area, and silicon area -- performance factors that are crucial for high-volume entry-level mobile phones. Texas Instruments has already shipped its products to Nokia for trial runs. Company executives said it would take about nine months for handsets using this solution to hit the market. Engibous added that it was up to manufacturers to develop low-end handsets. "If they use this solution, then they can reduce prices by half. But it depends on them to take a call on prices," he said. Despite being developed in Bangalore, company executives said the chip would be manufactured in Dallas, the United States, China or Taiwan. Indian handset manufacturers like BPL and Quasar are also set to use this technology for their future handset models. "These designs will serve as a platform for the development of a variety of handsets for different market segments, from ultra-low-cost to mid-range voice- and feature-rich data-centric handsets for BPL and Quasar. The first handsets based on the single chip will be available in BPL handsets by September 2005, while Primus phones using this technology will begin production later this year," said Biswadip Mitra, managing director of Texas Instruments India.

Intel aur Microsoft bhai bhai log hain!!! Intel usually releases PCs with all latest microprocessors fit in much before it gets to Open market to software companies like Microsoft to test them out. Microsoft uses such PCs to test their OS!!!

Run the RConnect Ping application immediately after you connect to Net. It finds the first hop and pings it. It may work fine... No guarantees!!! You can get it from here http://www.deepu.info/pingapp.zip

It's pouring money for cellular firms --------------------------------------------- For the mobile operators in Maharashtra, the monsoon mayhem was a blessing in disguise. The state, which is divided into two telecom circles -- Mumbai and Rest of Maharashtra -- registered a spurt in outgoing calls and SMSs, as cell phones was the easiest -- and sometimes the only -- mode of communication available. The increase in usage was as high as 50 per cent for certain companies on certain days of the rain-hit week -- that is from July 25 to July 31. Except for Reliance Infocomm, all other operators registered rise in outgoing calls and SMSs. Tata Teleservices Ltd registered a 50 per cent increase in outgoing calls on July 26, the worst rain-hit day of the past week. The CDMA-based cellular service provider had clocked around 13.8 million calls on that day in Mumbai, compared with 9.5 million calls it normally registers on a daily basis. For RoM, it was around 8.5 million calls, up by 21.43 per cent, from 7 million calls that were being registered on a daily basis, according to TTSL managing director Charles Antony. TTSL also recorded a 50 per cent increase in SMSes during the week, with its subscribers sending around 1.65 million messages, compared to a daily average of 1.1 million SMSes. The increase in usage was not steady during the week, as it fluctuated on certain days, he said. Mobile operator Airtel recorded 51 per cent rise in outgoing calls on July 28. The service provider had made all outgoing calls free for 24 hours from July 27 (Wednesday) 6 pm, which resulted it in clocking the maximum number of outgoing calls on July 28, Thursday. The operator had posted a rise in outgoing calls during the rain-hit week, even though figures were not immediately available. Industry observers believe that the rise in company's outgoing calls from its network ranged between 20 per cent and 30 per cent. Orange also posted an increase in outgoing calls, even though the figures were yet to be collated. The increase was also reflected in SMSs, according to Orange chief operating officer Harit Nagpal. "There was an increase in both voice and data usage, but we won't be able to quantify at this point of time. The rise was natural, as people were anxious to find out about their near and dear ones," he added. However, Reliance Infocomm Ltd did not register any rise in calls between the company's handsets (Reliance to Reliance). On the contrary, it registered a slight dip in calls from its network to other networks. An RIC spokesperson said that the company's network was sturdy and functional during the week, while the dip in calls were due to network failure at the receiving end. "What was important for us was to maintain our network, rather than enhancing usage at a time of crisis," he said. Courtesy - in.rediff.com
