Smart phone chip high prices lead to business find another way

Fujitsu, NEC and NTT DoCoMo co-founded the company will try to reduce the dependence of foreign chip makers in Japan, mobile device manufacturers, wireless chip of the smart phone manufacturing and sales.
Access network technology, the new joint venture will allow the company to develop their own chip, without having to rely on chips from outside Japan, the manufacturer's schedule and availability in order to better control the manufacturing and suppliers
The startup company, created with $1.28 million from the three vendors, will begin operations this month. Access Network Technology will find itself going up against the likes of Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics, among the larger chip makers for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. However, even Qualcomm has had supply issues in recent months, with officials complaining about some limited availability of 28-nanometer chips.
"We are continuing to see strong demand for our new Snapdragon S4, and other 28nm chipsets, and that demand continues to exceed our available supply, Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs told analysts and journalists last month on a conference call.
In announcing the new company Aug. 1, officials with Fujitsu, NEC and Docomo talked about the explosive expansion of the smartphone market, as well as the growth in data traffic that is making communications platforms increasingly important. The three companies have worked in the past on technologies. Last year, they—along with Panasonic and Samsung Electronics—announced a partnership to manufacture and sell their own mobile phone(spain words: moviles baratos) chips. However, that partnership dissolved earlier this year.
Now Fujitsu, NEC and Docomo officials are saying that technology from the three companies and their past history of working together will create products that will compete in the global market. Fujitsu officials said they expect Access Network Technology to hold 7 percent of the global market for smartphone dual core chips by the end of 2014.
Fujitsu and its subsidiary, Fujitsu Semiconductor, combined will own 62.3 percent of the new company, while Docomo will own 19.9 percent and NEC 17.8 percent.
The new company will not only create chips for smartphone android on jiayu g2, but also will develop products for 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks and future generations of networks, according to the parent firms.
Access Network Technology, which will have about 85 companies, will be competing in a booming smartphone marketplace. According to analysts with Juniper Research, about 132.9 million smartphones and moviles android shipped in the second quarter this year, a jump from the 105.2 million that shipped during the same period in 2011.
Chip development and design of ARM Holdings, Inc. and Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments, and Nvidia was found more than 90 percent of the smartphone. However, other chip makers, including Intel, are looking for access to space to enter. Intel is pushing its Atom Z2460 Medfield platform smartphone, Lenovo, Orange and lava India International has launched a device based on Intel technology.
