Intel introduces XMM 2138 platform


 Bangalore: Intel has announced the availability of XMM 2138 platform for Dual-SIM and Dual-Standby (DSDS) operation.

The platform is based on X-GOLD 213 EDGE baseband chip, which being a low-cost single chip solution, offers cost-effective solution for the dual-SIM market. The X-GOLD 213 EDGE for mobile internet brings in integration of GSM baseband, RF transceiver, mixed signal, power management, SRAM and FM radio in 65nm CMOS technology. The 8x8 mm eWLB-217 lead-free package of the X-GOLD 213 allows compact and slim feature rich designs. According to Dr. Hermann Eul, President, Intel Mobile Communications, with the cost-effective platform, Intel has shown its commitment towards providing solutions to all the market segments ranging from smartphones to low-cost models. Recently at MWC Intel has also demonstrated its OS Meego for tablet and smartphones.

XMM 2138 enables delivery of the same performance by using just one transceiver. This is one of the reasons of it being a cost-effective as generally the dual-SIM handsets come with two transrceivers.
The platform is available in two types- UTA-based XMM 2138 platform which offers Tier 1 customers with reuse and design flexibility and turnkey platform which helps mobile phone manufacturers in producing optimized and cost-effective products. This will in turn help in catering to the increasing demand for Dual-SIM handsets.

Along with this, the DSDS platform also supports WQVGA displays and touchscreens, WLAN for internet connectivity and Bluetooth. Other features include ARM11 core in the X-GOLD 213, chip-integrated FM radio providing high audio and video performance. At present the XMM 2138 platform is available for commercial distribution.

Few days back, Intel has also announced that it has started shipping of XMM 6260 platform for 3G smartphones.

4 Free Apps For Discovering Great Content On the Go

1. StumbleUpon The granddaddy of discovering random cool stuff online, StumbleUpon will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year — but its mobile app is less than a year old. On the web, its eight million users have spent the last decade recommending (or disliking) millions of webpages with a thumbs up / thumbs down system on a specially installed browser bar. The StumbleUpon engine then passes on recommendations from users whose interests seem similar to yours. Hit the Stumble button and you’ll get a random page that the engine thinks you’ll like. The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
