August 18, 2006 -- TD-SCDMA Interviews MCCI CEO Terry Moore

The TD-SCDMA Forum is an open, international body for promoting the global uptake of TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) technology, which is a 3G mobile telecommunications standard being pursued in the People's Republic of China. TD-SCDMA is a 420-member organization in which Director-level membership is held by 16 members, including the Chinese Academy of Telecommunications Technology. MCCI joined the TD-SCDMA Forum in 2003 and is one of 23 senior member organizations.

"MCCI has supported the rapid development of TD-SCDMA during the last three years and believes that China’s homegrown technology will be a great success....As HSDPA and other technologies come along, the world will move from a PC-centric world to a mobile, network-centric world," Terry Moore said. "TD-SCDMA will help bring the benefits of these developments to the Chinese market." MCCI expects to contribute by expanding its offerings in two directions: bringing more functionality to handsets (such as enhanced connectivity for media-player phones) and developing new ways to connect handsets (for example, Ultra Wideband, UWB).

May 9, 2006 -- MCCI Releases OTG Implementation

MCCI announced today that it has released its On The Go implementation. The USB OTG specification allows USB peripherals to communicate directly with selected other USB peripherals through a limited host capability. For example, it permits connectivity between a pair of MP3 players or a PDA and a cell phone. OTG devices are designed with low-power features to preserve battery life and a smaller USB connector than other standards-compliant USB devices. The MCCI USB OTG Development System combines an ARM9-based CPU platform, and OTG-capable silicon with MCCI USB DataPump firmware, a real-time operating system, PC-based test software, and sample drivers.

May 4, 2006 -- New MCCI GHQ Building Underway

MCCI announced today that framing for the expansion of its Ithaca headquarters is complete. In addition to creating needed additional office space, the 3,800 square foot addition will feature a redesigned reception area and expanded meeting facilities. The addition, designed by Ithaca architect Cheryl Thompson, complements the existing 2,000 square foot, 19th century farmhouse that has been MCCI's headquarters since 1995. However, the interior is contemporary and incorporates the latest in green technologies. When the addition is completed, the existing space will then be fully renovated. Construction is expected to be complete by summer of 2006. MCCI currently employs 25 people in its Ithaca office, and expects to grow to 30 by the end of 2006.

"MCCI's rapid growth in the last few years has really stressed our existing facilities," said Terry Moore, President of MCCI. "When the expansion is complete, we'll have all our Ithaca team in one state of the art facility, without having to give up the benefits of a great location in a natural setting."
