With TI's industry experience, leading application and wireless communication technology solutions and collaborative customer-focused approach, TI is already leading the way to 3G.
3G is about multimedia performance, driven by demand for mobile entertainment and on-the-go productivity. As the market evolves to 3G, TI continues to enable handset manufacturers to easily scale across multiple market segments for GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS standards.
The new OMAP-Vox™ family of solutions is designed to meet the changing market needs. Built on TI's successful OMAP™ technology, and more than 10 years serving the high-volume handset modem marketplace, the new OMAP-Vox™ family of solutions merges both modem and applications functionality onto the existing OMAP architecture. Additionally, OMAP-Vox solutions share a common software platform that can be re-used for a variety of growing market requirements and bring overall development costs down. Manufacturers can then cost-effectively deliver 3G handsets to the mass market.
From antenna to applications, the OMAP-Vox™ platform offers complete system solutions encompassing integrated modem and applications processor, RF, analog and power management functions, complete field tested protocol stack software, applications software suites, a pre-certified form-factor handset reference design, and a complete development toolkit.
In 2004, over 20 million 3G handsets were delivered with over 37 million 3G subscribers forecasted by the end of 2004 worldwide.
- Six of the top seven worldwide 3G handset manufacturers use TI DSP's for modems, OMAP™ processors or both

- All 3G FOMA manufacturers use TI OMAP processors in their handsets
Put TI at the heart of your next 3G handsets!
