Welcome to Freescale Semiconductor - News Release. High performance MSC8156 DSP supports a wide range of wireless air interface standards enabled by software upgrades AUSTIN, Texas – Nov. 3, 2010 – ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, has selected Freescale Semiconductor’s six-core MSC8156 digital signal processor (DSP) to power a flexible baseband platform for its software definable radio (SDR) base stations. Using the highly programmable Freescale DSP, ZTE can develop wireless base stations capable of supporting a range of wireless standards including 3G-LTE,TD-SCDMA, WiMAX and WCDMA. ZTE is a worldwide pioneer in deploying SDR base stations, which can be upgraded from 3G to 4G standards with a simple software update. SDR-based solutions dramatically simplify wireless network evolution and provide a solid foundation for multi-mode wireless networks.
About MSC8156 DSP technologyThe MSC8156 is based on 45-nm advanced process technology. Media Contacts: 7-inch ZTE Light, Galaxy Tab contender, sticks to Android 2.1 | Crave. The Android tablet invasion continues, with Chinese firm ZTE the latest to try its hand at making a match for the iPad, releasing a new slate called the ZTE Light. The Light will follow the Samsung Galaxy Tab blueprint with a 7-inch touchscreen display, but it will only run the 2.1 version of Android.
Big Sam's much-hyped machine, which hits stores on 1 November , carries Android 2.2 Froyo . There's no mention as to whether the ZTE Light will feature a resistive or capacitive touchscreen, but for its own sake we hope it's capacitive. If not, it could meet the same fate as the heavily panned Next tablet. The ZTE Light will have 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, and weigh 403g, slightly heavier than the Tab which scales in at 380g. As yet, there is no release date or even confirmation that the ZTE Light will reach the UK. While this might be the first time you've heard of the company, ZTE does have a small history of bringing Android devices to the UK. Vodacom misfires with WebBox data pricing. Vodacom on Monday officially took the wraps off its television Internet device, the Vodafone WebBox, which it hopes will extend Internet access to poorer South Africans. TechCentral has had the opportunity to test the device, which Vodacom reckons will “change the face of Internet connectivity in SA”.
We’re not so sure, given the WebBox doesn’t offer flat-rate Internet access. The product, in black plastic and consisting of a keyboard with built-in battery and GPRS/Edge modem (a 3G version will follow later), should look good in any lounge. It has a 3m cable, enough for small living rooms, though we’d have preferred an option with a 4m or 5m cable. It connects to the TV using RCA jacks — the same connections many people use to hook up their DVD players. The WebBox, made by China’s ZTE and designed by Vodacom’s UK parent Vodafone, is aimed at consumers who don’t already have a computer or Internet access in their homes.

Vodafone launches the Webbox, a keyboard which enables Internet on your TV, via a GSM/EDGE mobile data connection. Unfortunately, 3G isn’t supported yet, but a 3G version will follow later on. Connecting the Webbox to the TV sets is done by the standard RCA cables. Plug them in, push the power button on the device and within seconds you are online. The Webbox runs Android 2.1 Éclair, which means it comes packed with various software, including Opera Mini on board, which compresses the size of web pages up to 90%. You can send SMS, emails or even connect to Facebook through an app. As with any Android OS, there are some useful apps baked in as well, such as a calculator, a notes app, calendar, English dictionary, YouTube app and more.
As Stephen Elop, the CEO of Nokia pointed out today at the MWC: …80% of people around the world are within cell phone range, but only 20% of the population are online… Here’s a quick presentation of the device.

Some Ideas Never Die: ZTE Peel – WiFi Hotspot in an iPod touch Sleeve. Some ideas never die. Take, for example, the idea of adding wide area wireless data capability to a device that does not have that feature.
Way back in the year 2000 (or thereabouts), Jeff Hawkins’ Handspring PDA running Palm OS (Hawkins co-founded Handspring after leaving Palm) featured a modular expansion slot. Omnisky took advantage of this slot by building an add-on component that provided blazing fast (for the time) 19.2Kbps access to the CDPD wireless data network. You can see a photo of the combined products in the photo to the left (courtesy of Amazon). Fast forward to 2010 and China-based ZTE is providing an add-on product for Apple’s WiFi-only iPod touch to give it access to 3G wireless data. BGR reports that the ZTE Peel will be available for sale by Sprint in a matter of days (photo courtesy of the FCC via CNET). Zte, la sfida cinese ai big della telefonia mobile. Googlefonini "low cost" in Italia, ecco la ricetta cinese.
Zte in Italia non è un marchio conosciuto al grande pubblico. Eppure la metà della chiavette Usb che permettono di navigare on line a banda larga da notebook e netbook vendute nel Bel Paese sono prodotte, per conto di Onda o Momo Design, proprio dalla società cinese. Che fra apparati e soluzioni di rete, dispositivi per la connettività dati e cellulari è uno dei primi player al mondo servendo oltre 500 operatori telco in 145 Paesi. Fra questi c'è naturalmente anche l'Italia, dove la filiale opera in veste di fornitore e partner dei principali operatori nazionali, Telecom Italia in testa. Le attività della in campo cellulari nel nostro Paese sono poco note – sebbene i clienti a portafoglio si chiamino Vodafone, 3 Italia, Fastweb – semplicemente perché la filosofia di Zte è quella di essere un produttore "Odm" (Original design manufacturer), che produce cioè per conto di un'azienda terza e non a proprio marchio.
ZTE Racer review. In a battlefield now abundant with Android handsets, there's only one easy way for a young smartphone brand to grab our attention: make a seriously dirt cheap handset. And we're not just talking about a free phone chained to a pricey 18-month contract (like the Vodafone 845); we're looking for a Pay & Go smartphone tagged with a standalone dumbphone price, so even the £200+ ($316+) "budget" HTC Wildfire and Sony Ericsson X10 Mini / Mini Pro are out of the question. This is where Three UK's ZTE Racer comes in: priced at just £99.99 ($158) or for free on various contracts, this Android 2.1 handset has quite rightly stolen the paper crown from the 845.
ZTE Racer review See all photos 31 Photos Hardware As a budget smartphone, the Racer's actually a pretty decent-looking device from afar (although you may disagree here), and then that silver band somehow reminds us of racing stripes (hence the name, perhaps). So, let's get to the touchy subject (pun intended): resistive touchscreen. Software. Five surprising things about the Sprint ZTE Peel | iPhone Atlas. A couple weeks back I told you about the Sprint ZTE Peel , an iPod Touch accessory that sounded almost too good to be true. For a mere $79.99, plus a no-contract monthly service fee of $29.99, you could add 3G connectivity to your Touch. Goodbye, pricey iPhone! Hello, much more affordable iPod Touch-Phone!
Well, not quite. Now that I've had a chance to test-drive one, I must admit it's not what I expected. 1. I mistakenly assumed that the Peel plugged into the Touch's dock connector, much like an external battery/case hybrid. 2. Either the preliminary information was incorrect, or I made a mistake, but I originally wrote that two other devices could tap the Peel's 3G goodness at the same time as your Touch. 3. Maybe the two-device limitation is due to the Peel's sub-3G connectivity. 4. Yep, another power cord to bring along. 5. The Peel's audio-jack pass-through is just a hair too deep and narrow to accommodate a stock pair of Apple earbuds, so you have to plug in a tiny adapter cord. LTE World Summit 2011 - ZTE Corporation. ZTE Blade. The Blade II was released in March 2012 with Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7227A 1 GHz processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.[5] The Blade III was released in September 2012 with a 4 in screen, 4 GB storage, a 1600 mAh Li-Ion battery and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.[6] The Blade brand has since been applied to successor models such as Blade C and Blade L.
Variants[edit] In some countries, the ZTE Blade is available in customized versions with different cameras and touchscreen displays and often bears a different brand name: Reviews[edit] Reviews of the ZTE Blade have been positive due to the amount of features offered while maintaining a low price.[29] The screen in particular received praise, while the camera/camcorder quality was identified as one of the few downsides to the device.[30] Community reception[edit] A Blade without a customized brand name. Various websites, mainly MoDaCo and xda-developers, have created a very large modifications scene around the Blade.

Back in June, I wrote about a rumored iPod Touch accessory that sounded almost too good to be true: the Peel, a combination case/cradle that would bring SIM-card-powered phone calling to the device. The just-announced Sprint ZTE Peel has little in common with that rumored device except the name, but it's no less tantalizing. Drop your Touch into the cradle, press a button, and presto: you're connected to Sprint's 3G network.
But wait, there's more: the Peel doubles as a Wi-Fi hot spot, allowing up to two other devices to tap that 3G goodness at the same time. By now you're no doubt entertaining visions of using your Touch as an iPhone and telling AT&T what it can do with its $65-per-month-minimum-not-including-taxes-or-texting two-year contract. That's definitely an option now, what with voice-over-IP apps like Fring and Skype, but there are some caveats to consider. Price, believe it or not, is not one of them. I could easily live with that except for one major bummer: a 1GB data cap.
