Icera has licensed TTPCom's Release 5 multimode wireless protocol stack, which supports EDGE, WCDMA and HSDPA standards for mobile terminals. Icera is integrating its new class of baseband processor technology with the TTPCom multimode protocol stack to deliver the world's most advanced modem platform for next generation cellular broadband terminals. This collaboration will deliver one of the first solutions to support the new requirements for EDGE and HSDPA standards, as well as providing full support for current GSM, GPRS, and WCDMA (UMTS) standards. First samples of the Icera solution are scheduled later this year to support major operators in their planned rollout of enhanced 3GSM networks during the first half of 2006.
