China (mainland) – Spreadtrum Communications Inc., one of China's leading wireless baseband chipset providers, and WingTech Group have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at leveraging their respective leading edge chip and handset design technologies.

The agreement will allow WingTech to deploy Spreadtrum's SC6600W chip in its handsets. The SC6600W is a single chip quad-band GSM/GPRS multimedia baseband intended for WingTech handsets targeted at feature rich entry-level phones—which has MP3 playback, stereo output, voice recording and Bluetooth interface for wireless data transmissions.

Like Spreadtrum's other highly integrated basebands, the SC6600W features an integrated multimedia processor and built-in power management circuits on a single chip. This design reduces production costs while enabling customers such as WingTech to develop new, differentiated products within a quick time-to-market threshold.

The partnership is expected to benefit both companies and their customers as it is intended to capitalize on Spreadtrum's technology expertise in developing chipsets and WingTech's strengths in handset design for the industry.
