The RefKit PXA270 enables Windows Mobile and Windows CE OEMs to get market more quickly by starting with a production-ready form factor hardware design and production-ready system software. The design is ideal for OEMs developing rugged PDAs, handheld data collection terminals, and personal navigation devices, or any other device that requires cellular and WLAN functionality and high-performance graphics capability in a small form factor. By starting with the reference design, companies can reduce their development schedule by dozens of person-months and development costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The hardware design is built around the Marvell PXA270 XScale-based Application Processor. The PXA270 is paired with NVIDIA’s GoForce 4800 Graphical Processing Unit to offer high-performance multimedia capabilities.

  
OEMs can design in GSM/GPRS capability by implementing the reference design using the Siemens Wireless Module MC75. The MC75 is the first GSM/GPRS radio module featuring EDGE technology, one of the fastest data transfer standards in GSM networks.
