IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 8 - Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM)
, a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless
communications, today announced that Nokia Corporation has selected
Broadcom's advanced single-chip cellular baseband processor and its
companion power management unit (PMU) for selected future EDGE mobile
phones.
"Nokia has been following the development of Broadcom's single chip
EDGE processor and we were impressed with the progress made by the
Broadcom team," said Peter Ropke, Senior Vice President of Nokia's
Mobile Phones Broad Appeal Business Unit. "Broadcom's EDGE solution
delivers an advanced feature-set at low power, small size, and low
system cost, which make it an excellent foundation for Nokia's future
EDGE products."
"Broadcom is proud to be selected as one of Nokia's EDGE partners
and delighted by the opportunity to work closely and collaboratively
with the company. Nokia's thorough and constructive technical
evaluation process demonstrated its no-compromise approach to ensuring
the technical strength of its future mobile phones," said Yossi Cohen,
Senior Vice President & General Manager of Broadcom's Mobile
Platforms Group.
Broadcom first announced the BCM21331 ("Venus") single-chip EDGE
multimedia processor at 3GSM in February 2007. Designed in 65 nanometer
CMOS process technology, the BCM21331 integrates an EDGE RF transceiver
and all of the corresponding analog and digital baseband functions, as
well as high performance multimedia and connectivity support. Together
with the highly integrated and power efficient BCM59035 PMU, the new
solution accommodates small board space and slim designs that require
the highest integration, lowest power consumption and lowest bill of
materials available.
"Broadcom has shown progress in both technology development and
market presence," said Francis Sideco, Senior Analyst of Wireless
Communications for iSuppli. "This significant collaboration between
Nokia and Broadcom targets EDGE, one of the key segments of the market."
According to market research firm iSuppli, the EDGE segment of the
mobile phone market is projected to grow from 245 million units in 2007
to over 408 million units in 2009.
