Partner Fujitsu Microelectronics will be responsible for manufacture and marketing of the processor.
Israeli start-up ASOCS Ltd. today launched its MP100, the world's first wireless MultiComms processor capable of running up to three wireless air interfaces concurrently. The MP100 was developed jointly with Fujitsu Microelectronics Ltd., which will now be responsible for manufacture and marketing of the processor. ASOCS now moves from the development to the marketing stage for the product. Sales will begin in the Far East this month.
The MP100 aims to meet two challenges: the ability to work with all communications networks without the need to provide a different processor for each network; and the ability to run several applications simultaneously, such as GPS location, a phone call, and a WiFi hook-up.
ASOCS CEO Gilad Garon said, "We're designed for those who want to provide applications, not communications. This is what happened with the iPhone, where suddenly users were exposed to technology in which it wasn't the communications that was interesting, but rather the technology's uses."
