Built with Qualcomm Chipsets
MILPITAS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Kineto Wireless, the key innovator and leading supplier of UMA
technology, today announced that it has reached agreement with
Qualcomm on a collaboration that will UMA-enable certain Qualcomm 3G
UMTS chipsets. The resulting UMA-enabled chipset platforms together
with the industry leading Kineto UMA/GAN client software is expected
to be available to phone manufacturers in the first half of 2008.

Kineto's UMA client software, fully compliant with the latest 3GPP
GAN specifications (version 6.10), enables 3G handsets to seamlessly
roam and handover between the cellular 3G UMTS network, the 2.5G

provider of UMTS chipsets, to deliver UMA technology for multi-mode
3G, 2G, Wi-Fi enabled handsets," said Mark Powell, vice president and
general manager of client solutions at Kineto. "We are seeing strong
demand for 3G handsets with UMA/Wi-Fi technology from both operators
and handset vendors. This collaboration will help satisfy the demand
and allow handset vendors to build 3G UMA phones on the excellent
Qualcomm UMTS platform."
