RTX Telecom Announces That the Company has Been Chosen as a Development Partner for the Wireless Game Pad for Xbox 360

Noerresundby, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire)

RTX Telecom (CSE: RTX), a
leading independent supplier of advanced wireless communication
solutions, today announced that it has been chosen by Microsoft as a
development partner for the wireless interface to the game pad for
Xbox 360(TM) video game system from Microsoft. Microsoft will be the
first console manufacturer to ship wireless game pads as standard
with its hardware.
The wireless game pad will allow Xbox 360 users to enjoy an
unmatched wireless gaming experience with the same speed and
reliability as with a wired connection to the console while giving
the players full mobility without the need of cables.
The wireless interface solution on Xbox 360 has been defined by
Microsoft and optimized by Microsoft and RTX. Under the direction of
Microsoft, RTX has also been responsible for some of the hardware
development tools and the test equipment supply for the mass
production.
The wireless interface solution consists of a wireless base module
integrated into the Xbox 360 console connecting with up to four
wireless game pads that work as user interfaces for playing games.
Linking up to four consoles via an Ethernet/LAN connection allows
wireless multi-player gaming with 16 players at a time.
Committed to being the market leader in this next generation,
Microsoft has high requirements of its partners.
"With the National Semiconductor ASIC, choosing RTX Telecom for
developing the wireless game pad was a natural choice. Few other
companies have the ability to meet our specifications and time
requirements," said Richard Lum, Xbox Program Manager, Microsoft.
"The RTX engineers have a strong track record in implementing the
core wireless technology selected for Xbox 360."
"We are very excited that Microsoft chose RTX Telecom as its
development partner. This agreement demonstrates RTX Telecom's strong
position in wireless technology and is leveraging our successful
technology platform into new market areas for RTX Telecom," stated
Jorgen Elbaek, President and CEO, RTX
