New Quad band GSM/GPRS radio devices

The launch includes the slimline GS64 for applications such as PDAs,
Laptops, POS terminals and other portable or battery powered devices; the
backwardly compatible GR64 as a high performance upgrade for those
applications already using Sony Ericsson’s current generation of
GSM/GPRS devices; and the automotive grade GA64 to address the GSM
cellular telematics market. Benefits offered across the family include a
compact design, Quad Band GSM/GPRS, Class 10, enhanced I/O and
TCP/IP capability including USB for increased connectivity, powerful
processor, enhanced memory with increased application space, and all are
fully Type approved and lead free compliant.

Anders Franzen, Corporate Vice President and Head of Sony Ericsson
Machine to Machine Communications said: “Our machine to machine
customers seek fast development time in order to capture the market
opportunity. Sony Ericsson’s new product range gives integrators a head
start by offering advantages that ultimately put critical design time on their
side and position them for innovative, system cost optimized, product
development. Since the M2M market is experiencing explosive growth,
even exponentially in certain areas, our customers are looking to Sony
Ericsson’s M2M leadership and expertise to provide the answers that will
help them win.”

Integration samples will be available from mid 2005.
