InHand Updates Advanced Platform for Wireless Device Development
ATP-27x targets companies looking to get ahead of the curve in developing next-generation wireless devices
Rockville, MD, (May 9, 2005)—
InHand Electronics, Inc., a leader in handheld and wireless device
platforms for OEMs, today announced at the Microsoft Mobile &
Embedded Developer’s Conference an updated version of its Advanced
Technology Platform, a hardware/software reference platform for
showcasing the future of low-power wireless device technology. The
ATP-27x is based on Intel’s new PXA270 (previously known as “Bulverde”)
embedded microprocessor and incorporates InHand’s latest power
management technology advances. It is targeted at top-tier OEMs who are
interested in getting a head start on the design of future wireless
products.
“InHand’s
new ATP-27x platform is ideally suited for those companies that are
looking to get ahead of the curve in developing next-generation
wireless devices,” said Andrew Girson, InHand Electronics’ CTO.
“Whereas InHand’s popular Elf3 and Fingertip3 reference platforms are
ideally suited for speedy time-to-market with proven designs, the
ATP-27x is appropriate for exploring next-generation designs.”
The
ATP-27x benefits from InHand’s extensive portfolio of power-reducing
hardware and software technologies and also incorporates new wireless
device peripherals and interfaces. The updated hardware architecture
for the ATP-27x facilitates better power management and a new version
of the BatterySmart dynamic power management software designed for the
ATP-27x provides greater ability to adjust and manage performance,
power consumption, and battery life.
ATP-27x
reference platforms will be priced at $9995, including the reference
platform hardware, software, documentation, and technical support.
