The new mobile platform integrates Renesas Mobile’s industry reference LTE triple-mode modem platform, the SP2531, with Renesas Mobile’s SH-Mobile APE5R application processor which provides advanced 3D features, High Profile H.264 video encode and decode, and other peripherals, such as HDMI and USB interfaces.

Renesas Mobile’s MP5225 combines the industry-leading advanced application processor, in terms of graphics and video performance, with the SP2531 modem platform incorporating a single chip triple-mode LTE modem supporting LTE/HSPA+/GSM, RF transceiver ICs, high power amplifiers, power management devices and related software.

he MP5225 platform comes with comprehensive support from design to production and utilizes the system and production expertise of Renesas Mobile’s world leading modem and application processor teams to provide timely and expert support. The MP5225 also allows partner companies to preserve their software investments on Renesas Mobile’s leadership platform by providing a roadmap to dual/triple-mode mass market, cost focused, integrated communications engines in the near future.

“The MP5225 is our flagship 3D mobile platform developed to deliver on the promise of LTE,” said Shinichi Yoshioka, senior executive VP & COO, Renesas Mobile. “We believe the MP5225’s 3D video and graphics capability and SoC innovations utilising our processor and SMP (Symmetrical Multi-Processing) architecture expertise, in conjunction with our industry reference LTE modem, will allow our partners to deliver an unrivalled connected experience to their customers. The advent of LTE promises ARPU enhancing applications and services which are now possible on all forms of consumer electronics devices.”

The MP5225 mobile platform will be available for sampling in June 2011 as a reference design and comes complete with consulting services to enable rapid time to production. Mass production is expected to be in late 2011.

The MP5225 allows OEMs and carriers to deliver on the promise of the next-generation applications and services for smartphones, tablet PCs and other consumer electronics devices enabled by LTE networks. The MP5225 supports all leading OS including Android, Windows, MeeGo, Symbian and others.
