and integration levels, enabling InHand to develop an ATP board-level platform
with unique capabilities in terms of size, feature set, and low-power
operation," said Scott McCormack, marketing manager for Intel's Handheld
Platforms Group. "Combined with InHand's design services capabilities, the ATP
provides a significant entry point for developers of the next wave of
groundbreaking mobile wireless products."
The ATP benefits from InHand's extensive portfolio of power-reducing
hardware and software technologies and also incorporates new wireless device
peripherals and interfaces, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Additional
peripheral interfaces include Ethernet, USB Host, and multiple Compact Flash
and SDIO sockets. InHand's award-winning BatterySmart power management
software and developer board support packages (BSPs) for Linux and the
Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system will be available for ATP customers.
