Xilinx in Partnership with Plextek and Intrinsyc Enable CES Debut of Gametrac,
the Latest Mobile Entertainment Device from Tiger Telematics
LAS VEGAS, Nevada, January 8 /PRNewswire/ -- - FPGA leader and AllianceCORE
partners Intrinsyc and Plextek enable
rapid development of multi-faceted Windows CE-based mobile entertainment
device
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) today, Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX) and Gametrac Europe Ltd, a subsidiary of Tiger Telematics
(OTC: TIGR.PK), announced a collaboration that resulted in the first
working demonstration of Gametrac's highly anticipated mobile entertainment
device. Gametrac developed the multi-faceted Windows CE-based mobile product
in record time thanks to the speed and flexibility afforded by Xilinx
programmable chips and hardware and software from Plextek and Intrinsyc. The
Gametrac mobile entertainment device is on display in the Microsoft booth
January 8 - 11, 2004.
The Gametrac device offers an impressive range of
entertainment and information features, including games, multimedia
messaging, MP3 music, Mpeg4 movie playing, a digital camera, and GPRS network
link to allow wide-area network gaming. It even contains a GPS chip for
location based services. Based on the Windows CE.NET operating systems and an
ARM9 400 MHz processor, the device comes packaged as a pocket-sized mobile
device usable on five continents thanks to its GSM tri-band capability.
Gametrac contracted development to Plextek and Intrinsyc, both
Xilinx partners. The flexibility of Xilinx FPGAs was leveraged to develop
working versions of the Gametrac device in record time. Plextek is working
actively with Intrinsyc and other parties to provide a turn-key development
service to Tiger Telematics for the development of the Gametrac product.
Intrinsyc developed fully customised embedded software based on the Windows
CE .NET operating system; telephony application software based on Intrinsyc's
intellectual property, and provided systems integration services for the
Gametrac demonstration model.
"Our ability to debut the mobile entertainment device at CES
was an absolute requirement for the success of this product. We needed every
speed, cost and risk-avoidance strategy available to meet an incredibly
challenging development schedule," said Steve Carroll, Technical Director of
Gametrac Europe Ltd. "Plextek and Intrinsyc provided the hardware and
software we needed to develop the product and achieve our goals."
"When it comes to being able to quickly and reliably build
working prototypes of complex products, Xilinx programmable FPGA solutions
have no equal. It's exciting to be a part of such a significant product
introduction at CES. We are especially pleased to see how the benefits of our
AllianceCORE program can be successfully applied to such demanding
applications," said Sandeep Vij, vice president of worldwide marketing at
Xilinx.
