Sagem has signed a license agreement with Ericsson to use its U100 platform for 3G/WCDMA devices, which is a compact and powerful platform with best in class power consumption and advanced integrated multimedia feature support.
"SAGEM's choice of Ericsson Mobile Platforms as a partner for their 3G/WCDMA products is a strong qualification of our technology and leadership in 3G/UMTS," said Sandeep Chennakeshu, head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms. "SAGEM is renowned for their high quality and advanced design capabilities."
"This is an important step toward 3G/UMTS technology for SAGEM," declared Thierry Buffenoir, Managing Director of SAGEM's Mobile Phones Division. "With Ericsson Mobile Platforms and our handset business knowledge and design skills we will be ready to launch very attractive consumer products."
As yet there appears to be no published roadmap for handset releases by Sagem this year, but with everyone pushing 3G and Sagem using technology from Ericsson we can expect some interesting handsets to appear.
