Oct 4, 2005

CMP Media's EE Times announced the launch of the Mobile Handset DesignLine Web site (www.MobileHandsetDesignLine.com). This new site is aimed at consumer mobile handset electronics design engineers and engineering managers in a variety of fields, including cell phones, smart phones, mobile PC cards, wireless base stations, mobile switching systems, antennas, and other mobile communication systems equipment.

"Mobile handset sales continue to outpace similar applications by orders of magnitude. Because of this explosive growth, designers are always looking for new ways to innovate," said Rich Nass, site editor for Mobile Handset DesignLine. "And that's exactly what they can learn from the Mobile Handset Designline. Here, we'll provide How-To articles, product and industry news, and a place for engineers to converse with each other. That's all augmented by our Tech Library, which is filled with useful links to associated industry sites."

Mobile Handset DesignLine is EE Times' tenth in a series of vertically micro-segmented Web sites for engineers involved in designing electronics systems. The site provides the technical, how-to information the engineering community needs to accelerate and advance the design and development of Mobile Handset products. Topics are broad, and information ranges from analog audio and SOC integration to topical forums on emerging standards and codecs. It will also keep engineers abreast of the latest challenges and trends in:

-- smart phones
  -- mobile PC cards
  -- wireless base stations
  -- mobile switching systems
  -- antennas
  -- other mobile communication systems equipment.

Richard Nass, Site Editor for the CommsDesign and Mobile Handset DesignLine engineering-focused Web sites, has over seventeen years of experience in the electronic OEM industry. With more than nine of those years in the wireless sector of the market, Richard is the most experienced editor in the business. Before coming to CMP, Richard spent six years as the Editor-in-Chief of Portable Design magazine, where he drove the editorial to new heights while launching a magazine and technical conference in China. Prior to that, Richard was a Technology Editor with Electronic Design magazine. Richard holds a BSEE degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
