Sasken ties up with IXI Mobile

Bangalore-based Sasken Communication Technologies has announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with IXI Mobile to use the IXI-Connect OS Technology.

The company has identified the need for a flexible and modular framework solution, to enable it to be a one-stop-shop for mobile software solutions.

It chose the IXI-Connect OS Technology as it aligns with the company's own product philosophy of providing its phone customers with modular, scalable and pre-integrated complete solutions that help them develop devices faster.

Further to the agreement, Sasken plans to combine the IXI-Connect OS with existing company IP to offer its customers a competitive solution in terms of footprint, price and performance.

"This will enable solutions across a wider range of phone categories and customer segments. In addition, the company has established with support from IXI Mobile an Israel-based design centre, extended with a team in Kiev, Ukraine," said Venkatesh.

The key value of the Sasken Application Framework to phone manufacturers will be its completeness and extensive tool suite, as well as the architectural flexibility that supports different silicon architectures, protocol stacks and phone configurations, he added.

From an operator's perspective the solution will enable them to drive reusability and deliver a customised look and feel on the go. The company now has a large team of engineers committed to the Application Framework Product Line spread across its engineering centres in India, Israel and Kiev, he further added.
