Twenty-six additional companies endorse Intel Personal Internet Client Architecture for wireless internet devices
Announcement posted by Intel 25 Apr 2001
Twenty-six wireless device and equipment manufacturers, application developers and service providers based in the Asia Pacific region today endorsed the Intel Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel PCA). The 26 companies are joining Intel in the effort to accelerate the development of applications and hardware for next-generation wireless Internet devices.
The number of Intel PCA supporters has grown to more than 50 companies since last September when Intel introduced the architecture, which is tailored for Internet-ready cell phones and other wireless Internet devices.
We are extremely pleased at the tremendous response the Intel Personal Internet Client Architecture has received in Asia and around the world, said Ron Smith, senior vice president and general manager of Intels Wireless Communications and Computing Group. These companies recognise the advantages Intel PCA brings to speeding up the application development process for Internet cell phones.
The 26 additional companies endorsing Intel PCA are based in China, Taiwan and Korea. They include:
China: Device and equipment manufacturers, Cellon Wireless R&D Ltd., Chinese Star Cyber Technology Limited; Group Sense Limited; Hi-tech Wealth Electronic Product Co. Ltd., The Konka Group Co., Ltd., Legend Handheld & Wireless Communication Group and UTStarcom Incorporated; applications developers, CStar, GWcom, Inc. and Hanwang Technology; and wireless technology developer, LinkAir Communications.
Taiwan: Device and equipment manufacturers, Acer Communication & Multimedia Inc., Arima Group, ASUSTeK Computer Inc., Compal Communications Inc., DBTEL Incorporated, GVC Corporation, HTC Corporation and Quanta Computer Inc.; application developers, Avxing International Ltd., Coventive Technologies Ltd. and VerbalTek Incorporated; and service providers, KG Telecommunications Co., Ltd. and Taiwan Cellular Corporation.
Korea: Device and equipment manufacturers, Cyberbank, Co and Trigem Computer, Inc.; and an application developer, ZIO Interactive Inc.
We share Intel's view of the need to have true open architectures that enhance development of wireless Internet applications and services across standards and next-generation wireless devices, said Liu Zhijun, vice president and general manager of Legends Handheld & Wireless Communication Group. This is vitally important to accelerate the growth of wireless Internet usage among consumers in China and worldwide.
The wireless industry needs open standards like Intel PCA that proliferate the development of software and content on next-generation wireless devices, said Jason Sun, president and chief executive officer of Cellon Wireless R&D Ltd. Were working on the development of this architecture through our partner, CELLon Corporation, which is designing modular products including a software platform and hardware modules that will adopt Intel's architecture and products. This architecture is critical to accelerate the growth of wireless Internet usage among consumers worldwide.
With its open and parallel development nature, Intel PCA will become the future for wireless Internet clients, said Chris Chung, president of Trigem Computer, Inc. Trigem expects PCA to be widely accepted as the common platform for accelerating the wireless client industry.
Trigem's core competency in manufacturingbuilding on Intel PCA wireless architecturewill become a major force in driving the development of the wireless client industry.
