Comsys EDGE IP powers TI wireless chips

Comsys Communications and Signal Processing and Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) have announced that Comsys will deliver EDGE baseband IP to TI to be used in its TCS family of wireless chipset solutions. This agreement follows a successful collaboration between the two companies incorporating Comsys' EDGE technology onto TI's DSP technology.

The EDGE technology is expected to triple the data rates possible with general packet radio service (GPRS) networks, thereby tripling the capacity of data users on the same network.

"EDGE is being more widely considered than ever as a viable solution for enhanced data networks," said Ronny Gorlicki, EVP for sales and marketing at Comsys, "North America is leading the field, with numerous Asian Operators committing to EDGE and Europe showing immense interest. Comsys was the first company to offer baseband IP for EDGE solutions, both for handsets and for basestations."
