Broadcom (News - Alert) Corporation has expanded its relationship with Samsung Electronics to include advanced 3G cellular solutions for a new series of Samsung (News - Alert) mobile handsets.

With the partnership, Broadcom will offer advanced 3G cellular solutions for a new series of Samsung mobile handsets.

It is also expected that more Samsung products with Broadcom's 3G solution will be introduced  in the 2007 Christmas season.

The advanced Broadcom 3G cellular solutions selected by Samsung for the SGH-J750 and SGH-A401 mobile phones include the BCM2133 EDGE baseband processor, the BCM2141 WCDMA co-processor, the BCM2045 Bluetooth transceiver and the BCM59001 power management unit (PMU).

Broadcom started its relationship with Samsung in 2007 when the company launched its first generation 3G cellular baseband technology with the SGH-Z220. The new Samsung 3G mobile phones will be available with cellular operators in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and elsewhere.

The new Samsung SGH-J750 and SGH-A401 3G phones are empowered with Broadcom silicon and software solutions. They have undergone extensive testing in extreme conditions, including worldwide roaming for well over a year.
