Encyclopedia
Intel Mobile Communications (IMC), is a subsidiary of Intel Corporation. It was formed when Intel completed the acquisition of the Wireless Solutions (WLS) division of Infineon early in 2011.
IMC develops, manufactures and markets semiconductor
products and solutions for wireless communications. It targets the fast growing market segments of smart phones, connected devices (e.g. tablets, USB dongles, mobile PCs, M2M), and ultra-low-cost/entry phones. Its roadmap is focused on providing cost-effective 2G
/3G
single-chip platforms for ULC phones up to entry-level smart phones and 3G/4G
slim modem and RF
solutions for mid-to high-end smart phones and connected devices.
IMC's stated goal is to "Connect the world with leading-edge secure and seamless wireless solutions".
