Compal Communications and RADVISION Team to Develop Advanced 3G Mobile Video PDA Phone

Posted on: Thursday, 6 April 2006, 09:00 CDT

RADVISION (Nasdaq:RVSN), a leading provider of multimedia conferencing and communications platforms, announces today that Compal Communications Incorporated (CCI) has licensed RADVISION's leading 3G-324M protocol toolkit, along with professional consulting services, for development of an advanced 3G cellular video Windows Mobile(TM) PDA phone.

The CCI 3G PDA phone includes an advanced video application that will allow subscribers to videoconference and participate in video communities and other revenue generating services. The phone is based on Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and the Intel PXA270 applications processor. RADVISION developed the video application for CCI using its 3G-324M Toolkit, in collaboration with both Microsoft and Intel.

Eitan Livne, General Manager of RADVISION's Asia Pacific region, said "We are pleased that CCI selected us to provide the video-enabling technology and to develop the video application residing on the handset. We worked with both Microsoft and Intel on the integration, and are confident that this is a compelling offering for the embedded mobile environment."

CCI is one of the largest ODMs in the world and relies on reputable sources for technology and application development in order to bring leading products to market cost-effectively and with uncompromising performance and quality. The Intel PXA270 processor is specifically designed for the mobile environment, as is Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 Operating System. RADVISION's 3G-324M toolkit, with its standards compliant WNSRP fast setup time support, is especially suited for the embedded environment due to its high performance and low memory footprint.

The Intel PXA270 processor is a high performance and low power device targeted to the mobile market segment. Barry Evans, General Manager of Intel's Application Processor Business Unit commented "Our Intel XScale(R) processors are an outstanding solution for devices in this demanding market segment. The advanced video application that RADVISION has developed underscores how compelling this device is as a platform for mobile multimedia applications."

Based on the solid Windows CE technology, the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system meets the performance, features and strict memory requirements of cutting edge mobile embedded devices. Jason Lim, Regional Director, Asia Pacific & Japan, Mobile and Embedded Devices Division, Microsoft Corp. added, "We have worked closely with RADVISION in the past, and the successful integration of their video application on top of our operating system is another milestone in our productive relationship. We believe that together we are providing Compal with an excellent product that will raise the standard in 3G video telephony."
