IEIMobile Introduction
Power Saving and Trendy Platform
■ TI’s Sitara family of highly-integrated ARM9™ and ARM Cortex™-A8 microprocessor portfolio offers various combinations of high-
performance and low power levels, providing the ability to create an array of products using a common hardware and software platform.
■ Reduce system risks and accelerate time to market using standard and comprehensive ARM-based software development tools.
■ TI is the largest ARM core licensee supporting all major high-level operating systems such as Android and Windows CE.
■ Android is an operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones
and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by
Google.
■ Android was listed as the best-selling smartphone platform worldwide
in Q4 2010 by Canalys with over 200 million Android devices in use by
November 2011.
■ 2.3 Gingerbread rened the user interface, improved the soft keyboard
and copy/paste features, improved gaming performance, added SIP
support (VoIP calls), and added support for Near Field Communication.

Android Security Issue:
Android applications run in a sandbox, an isolated area of the
operating system that does not have access to the rest of the
system’s resources, unless access permissions are granted by
the user when the application is installed. Before installing an
application, Android Market displays all required permissions.
Seamless Wireless Communication
The ICECARE keeps mobile workers connected with the back-ofce and peripherals through built-in 3.5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth wireless
technologies.
Bluetooth
3.5G/
HSUPA
Compliant with the 802.11 b/g/n. This feature allows
fast data transfer for near eld or ad-hoc data
communication.
Compliant with the Bluetooth 2.1+EDR specication.
This feature ensures easy and quick access to nearby
peripherals.
GPS is a mature technology that allows users to locate
their current location and other landmarks. Navigation
and Positioning support
With up to 3.5G wireless technology, outeld workers
can maintain and share constant contact with the back
ofce.
