DALLAS-Chipmakers STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments Inc. said they are jointly developing a standard CDMA2000 1x EV-DV solution, which they hope to market to handset manufacturers worldwide.
The protocol, which provides both voice and data, will enable cell phones, personal digital assistants and other mobile devices to have remote Internet access, as well as a slew of dynamic media like interactive online gaming, streaming video and video conferencing.
The solution will be available for sampling in early 2004.
Both companies announced a solution for CDMA2000 1x technology last week.
