Ericsson has announced that a brand-new security device with positioning capabilities, enabled by Ericsson technology, has been launched in Japan.
NTT DoCoMo, the Japanese telecoms giant, has launched a safety device that gets high-precision location information by using the GPS function. The device is designed to provide family members or authorities with positioning information or to enable location tracking when the user pulls the slide switch in a dangerous or emergency situation. The slide switch also triggers a crime prevention buzzer on the device.
The device is based on the U310 platform developed by Ericsson. The platform enables the modem and GPS functionality within the device, which is small enough to be carried inside a pocket or bag for easy activation in case of emergency.
Robert Puskaric, Head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says: "This shows that our platform technology is flexible and small enough to be implemented in devices other than the traditional mobile phone. We are also pleased to see that our platform has been included in a security device within the DoCoMo portfolio, as this proves its stability and quality."
The product, CTG-001G, has been developed by Giant Electronics on behalf of DoCoMo, and was launched on the Japanese market on December 7.

Ericsson U360 Mobile Platform Selected by ASUSTeK
17 Dec, 2007
ASIA Taiwan : Ericsson announced that its U360 mobile platform has been selected by Taiwanese mobile device manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer for its recently launched T500 PC card.
Ericsson's U360 platform is an EDGE/WCDMA/HSPA platform with quad-band EDGE as well as triple-band HSPA capabilities on the downlink. It represents one of the smallest, yet most powerful and stable commercially available multimedia platforms.
Ericsson's U360 solution also offers high levels of silicon integration and low power consumption, providing greater cost-effectiveness.
The T500 PC card provides users with high-speed mobile broadband and offers special phone communication functions for the desktop or notebook.
HC Hung, President of Digital Mobile at ASUSTeK, says: "Ericsson's U360 platform offers high performance in a small, stable and cost-effective package. It's an essential ingredient in the creation of our cutting-edge PC card and will ensure we can offer a first-rate experience for end users."
Robert Puskaric, Head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says: "We are proud to continue our longstanding relationship with ASUSTeK and support them with the launch of their T500 PC card. The move is a significant milestone and reflects Ericsson's expertise in offering strong platforms that generate cost-competitive and feature-rich mobile solutions."
The T500 was launched in October in Hong Kong. It will debut in Asian markets and is expected to reach both Europe and the US at a later stage.

Asustek to officially ink 3G licensing agreement with Qualcomm soon
25 Oct, 2007
Asustek Computer should free itself from any 3G chip patent disputes for upcoming 3G handsets as the company will soon ink a related licensing agreement with Qualcomm, according to industry sources.
Asustek has been extending its presence to 3G for several years, but the company and Qualcomm have not established a consensus over a possible cross-licensing as Asustek itself owns some 3G chip intellectual property (IP), the sources explained.
Despite that Asustek only started volume producing 3G handsets in late 2006, the relatively early deployment of the company in this sector has helped the company accumulate about over 90 technological innovations that are recognized by the 3GPP. More than 30 of these items may even be classed as "core IP", the sources noted.
According to estimates from the Technology Transfer Center (TTC) of Taiwan, the number of 3G patents that Asustek holds exceeds 130 in Taiwan – an amount that only Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) surpasses.
Asustek's rivals, which include BenQ and Qisda, Gigabyte Communications, High Tech Computer (HTC), Inventec Appliances and Mobinnova, have all adopted 3G solutions from Qualcomm for their handset offerings, with licensing fees reaching several million US dollars.
Asustek currently utilizes 3G solutions from Marvell and Ericsson Mobile Platforms (EMP).
