Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics said they are sampling the industry's first standard cdma2000 1xEV-DV product.

The standard provides users with broadband capabilities to their cell phones, PDAs and other mobile devices, offering high-speed Internet connectivity that is ten times the speed provided by current cdma2000 1X and GPRS products. And it simultaneously supports the voice capability of cdma2000 1X

TI and ST are collaborating with Nokia for interoperability testing with South Korea-based LGE's infrastructure unit, the companies said in a statement. The testing is part of the carrier's planned commercial deployment of the standard in South Korea.

The system from TI and ST includes the digital baseband and radio frequency (RF) receiver and transmitter ICs supplied by TI and the integrated analog baseband and power management device supplied by ST.  It also includes TI’s protocol stack, comprehensive set of embedded wireless services, tools and technical support.  The product is the first in a portfolio planned by TI and ST.

The companies said the 1XEV-DV standard provides typical sector throughput ranging from 420 kilobits-per-second to 1.7 megabits-per-second and peak data rates of up to 3.1 megabits-per- second. These speeds are high enough for services such as streaming video, video conferencing, and interactive online games.
