Samsung, NXP Semiconductors and T3G Technologies, have announced the world's first TD-SCDMA HSDPA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE multi-mode mobile phone. Powered by a software-defined modem capable of achieving data transfer rates of 2.8Mbits/s, the Samsung SGH-T578H enables about 20 times faster transfers than GPRS, allowing consumers to download several high quality MP3 files in less than a minute. The phone is based on the T3G7210 system solution featuring the industry's first soft modem empowered by NXP's Embedded Vector Processor (EVP) to achieve high data transfer and multi-mode capability. TD-SCDMA network deployments have been completed in 10 major cities across
China where there are more than 70 million potential subscribers. This network is planned to be upgraded to support Release 5 (HSDPA) of the TD-SCDMA standard during the course of 2008.
