Future Waves Licenses Imagination Technologies' Broadcast Receiver IP Platform
May 1, 2007 -- Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE:IMG; "Imagination") – a leader in System-on-Chip Intellectual Property ("SoC IP") – reports that Future Waves, the designer of RF and mixed-signal semiconductor components for next-generation digital communication and broadcast technologies, has licensed Imagination's multi-standard Broadcast Receiver IP Platform under a multiple-use licensing agreement.
Future Waves will market SoCs integrating Imagination’s IP alongside Future Waves’ leading multi-standard RF technologies to enable a range of mobile broadcast devices.
Imagination Technologies’ Broadcast Receiver IP Platform is based on the combination of Imagination’s highly efficient Ensigma UCC demodulation and META processing cores. The solution delivers market-leading features and performance, enabling multi-standard broadcast reception from the same silicon area as a single-standard chip.
Under the terms of its licensing arrangements Imagination receives license fees and royalty revenues on SoCs incorporating Imagination’s IP shipped by partners. Consideration for the license to Future Waves is by means of cash payment and an equity component in the form of a convertible loan note in Future Waves.
