Teleca enables Android for the CDMA Phone Market

Teleca enables Android for the CDMA Phone Market 

Teleca is developing several strategic projects for its customers around
Android. One major project we are undertaking is to extend the Android platform
to support CDMA radio technology. This will enable handset manufacturers to
build CDMA handsets based on Android and will open the Android handset market
for CDMA Network Operators.

The current release of Android, available under the open source project from the
Open Handset Alliance (OHA), only supports GSM and WCDMA mobile radio
technologies. Teleca is enabling the Android platform to support CDMA-only as
well as world mode phones (GSM/WCDMA/CDMA). This will allow handset
manufacturers and mobile network operators in North America and Asia to enhance
their product portfolio with Android based devices supporting the CDMA radio
technology. The Android CDMA support will fulfil all major requirements as
jointly identified by Teleca with main technology partners in the CDMA
ecosystem.

Teleca´s contribution covers all required extensions in the application
framework of the telephony stack, the application domain and user interface.  In
order to support existing applications the application interface is backward
compatible, but extended to include CDMA specific methods, parameters or
notifications to make the new features accessible by new applications.

Teleca worked with a major CDMA chipset provider to integrate and test the
CDMA-enabled Android on a reference phone. The project will be rolled into a
future Android release and will be open sourced early 2009.

Our expertise covers the whole range of services from Android target integration
and optimization, middleware extension, application development and
customization up to Android based platform creation. We offer services for CDMA,
GSM and WCDMA. We can also work as the link between operators and handset
manufacturers to ensure all operator specific requirements are complied with at
launch.
