What is the SPMT Working Group?
The SPMT Working Group came together to pioneer a new technology to meet the growing needs of manufacturers to increase the performance and functionality of mobile devices while maintaining competitive or even reduced system cost. This is in response to mobile service providers demanding solutions that enable them to give consumers more data-intensive, media-rich capabilities such as video (including high-definition video), GPS, gaming, Internet access, e-mail, multimedia applications and music at a competitive price. The SPMT Working Group has been meeting since the third quarter of 2007 and intends to organize a formal consortium later this year consisting of mobile device, memory and system-on-chip manufacturers and semiconductor IP providers that will help bring the SPMT specification to the industry by the end of 2008.
