Infineon Technologies, along with its subsidiaries Danish Wireless Design and Comneon, will be offering cell phone manufacturers an integrated system development platform, System Platform 2000. The new system platform includes the necessary chipset and firmware for GSM/GPRS products with Bluetooth connectivity.

Components of the System Platform 2000

Based on Infineon chip solutions

The E-GOLD+ single-chip baseband controller

SMARTi+ single chip RF transceiver

E-power power management integrated circuit

CMG20G power amplifier module

Bluetooth interface is based on Infineon’s Bluemoon 1

"In collaboration with our subsidiaries, we are facilitating the fast and reliable implementation of GSM and/or GPRS projects by our system customers who can then concentrate more on specific product diversification," said Guenter Weinberger, senior vice president of Infineon’s Wireless Group.

Three versions of the system platform will be made available.

900/1800-MHz dual-band transceiver configuration for the European and Asian markets
Equivalent 900/1900 MHz dual-band configuration for the U.S. market
