World's Most Integrated GSM/GPRS Entry Phone Platform

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE: IFX) today announced its E-GOLDradio™ chip, a GSM/GPRS single-chip which combines a quadband radio transceiver part with a base band processor. The E-GOLDradio enables the base band and RF functionality to be realized on a board space of less than 4 square centimetres which is about 30 percent less than the area previously occupied by two-chip solutions. Featuring E-GOLDradio, Infineon is able to provide the word's most integrated platform. The new BP3 platform comprises all hardware and software components necessary to design a mobile phone, such as power management, filter, power amplifier, memory as well as a GSM/GPRS protocol stack and application framework (APOXI) with a reference man-machine interface.
