Creating Performance with Stamina for
Wireless Communications
By: Morris Moore, Nick Marshall, and Bobbi Bone
Executive Briefing
As we all take our first steps into a brave new world of
third generation mobile services, we are participating in
a revolutionary new way of conducting business, where
mobility no longer limits our productivity. We are no
longer tethered to a power outlet or confined to a few
square feet of office space. We see ourselves as having
all the power and sophistication of a hard-wired home or
office right in the palms of our hands. However, we also
know that mobile systems have an Achilles heel鈥攁
mobile power source. No matter how powerful our
mobile systems become, the amount of work performed
is always limited by the life of the battery. That is why
low power consumption must be as important a design
consideration in mobile communications devices as
speed and ability, resulting in what we call performance
with stamina.
Now that we are entering a new realm of 3G deployment,
carrying broadband access around in our pockets,
wireless communication access and processing
capabilities are increasing dramatically, and the drain on
battery life is increasing right along with them.
