(InfoWorld) - Sierra Wireless will provide embedded wide-area wireless modules to a new Intel ultra mobile PC (UMPC) platform that enabling devices to hook up to 3G (third generation) wireless telecommunications, creating a new way to use a UMPC. Until now, UMPCs from most companies, includingÂ Samsung Electronics and Asustek Computer, have included two wireless functions, WLAN (wireless LAN) for wireless Internet connections in a home, office, or other location near a Wi-Fi hot spot, and Bluetooth. Few other UMPCs, save Sony's Vaio VGN-UX50, which offers Cingular EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment) WAN capabilities, provide a way to connect to the Internet away from civilization. The wireless modules from Sierra, a Vancouver, British Columbia chip designer, will allow users to remain connected far out in the field, and lead to the development of many innovative, new UMPC devices, the company said. Intel plans to make itsÂ ultra mobile PC chip kitÂ available in the first half of next year, the company said at the Intel Developer Forum, which ended Thursday. The company said the microprocessors in the platform will consume just half the power of ones used in current UMPCs, and will be 25 percent smaller. The chip kit is designed to allow developers to make smaller, cooler running UMPCs with longer battery life and new possible uses, Intel said. The UMPC, code-named Origami earlier this year, is a new breed of handheld deviceÂ promoted by Microsoft and IntelÂ aimed at users requiring more PC-like functions and larger screens in a carry-around device. It falls somewhere between a tablet PC and a PDA in size, and runs on the Windows XP Tablet Edition OS. One of the first such devices was viewed by users at the Cebit electronics show in Germany early this year,Â Samsung's Q1. The device was running on a 900MHz Intel Celeron microprocessor and boasted 500MB of RAM.

(InfoWorld) - South Korea's LG Electronics plans to next year introduce a range of products that support mobile WiMax technology, a company executive said at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecom World 2006 conference and exhibition in Hong Kong. The first products from LG to support mobile WiMax will be a version of the company's XNote C1 Tablet PC and a PDA (personal digital assistant) based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 software, said Nam Keehyun, manager at LG Electronics' Digital Media Strategic Planning Department. Mobile WiMax offers downlink speeds up to 10.2Mbps, which is expected to increase to 40Mbps or so next year. The technology is currently commercially available in South Korea and Japan. The technology is also being tested by operators in other countries and plans are underway to roll out the technology in the U.S. and China. The XNote C1 with mobile WiMax will also include support for 3G (third generation) networks that have been upgraded with HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology, which allows faster downloads. The new notebook will be available worldwide during the first half of the year, Nam said. The KC1 PDA will also hit the market early next year, offering support for mobile WiMax and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 2000-1X EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), Nam said. EV-DO is the 3G technology most widely used in South Korea and is also used by U.S. operators. Prices for the mobile WiMax-equipped XNote C1 and the KC1 have not yet been decided, Nam said. Looking ahead, LG plans to expand the number of products that support mobile WiMax. For example, the company is considering the introduction of an Ultramobile PC with mobile WiMax support, but such a device would not likely be available before 2008, Nam said. Telecom World runs through Friday.

(InfoWorld) - In a move to beef up its expertise in Internet-based TV technology, Sweden's Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson has made an unsolicited offer to acquire Tandberg Television of Norway. Ericsson offered to pay 9.8 billion Swedish kroner ($1.4 billion) in cash for Tandberg in a deal announced Monday, topping an earlier bid by Arris GroupÂ of Atlanta, Georgia. Ericsson is one of several vendors vying to sell IPTV (Internet Protocol television) equipment to cable and telecom companies, allowing them to offer interactive TV broadcasts, video-on-demand and other multimedia services to the home over broadband connections. Telecom operators are particularly keen to roll out IPTV service to generate new revenue, as their circuit-switched telephone business is eclipsed by low-cost VOIP (voice over IP) service. Tandberg sells video encoding and compression equipment, with an emphasis on MPEG-4, as well as products for delivering interactive and on-demand video. It employs around 870 people, including about 370 video and software engineers. Tandberg described Ericsson's bid as unsolicited and said it would review the offer before commenting. In January, it agreed to be acquired by Arris for 96 Norwegian kronor ($15.69) per share -- 10 kronor less than Monday's offer by Ericsson.
