Emerging markets are the next goal of chip makers and mobile phone manufacturers, such as Qualcomm Corp is also developing a comprehensive CDMA features a number of mobile phone chips, so that manufacturers reduce costs.

India is one of the world's fastest growing mobile phone market, is expected in the next two years will add 100 million mobile phone users, the current number of users is 58 million. Industry experts pointed out that, although the cost of mobile services in India is also the lowest in the world, but the regulatory costs are too high and the lack of low-cost entry-level mobile phones and other factors still restrict the overall development.

Engibous said that the new chip design, development and testing of a mission in the TI Bangalore development center, the center has 1200 engineers.
