For example, Lucent Technologies and Synopsys's agreement to deliver advanced wireless chipset virtual prototype solutions will include complete virtual prototype modeling of Lucent's Sceptre chipset, and the full hardware and software verification capabilities within COSSAP. As a result, the performance verification of a cellular telephone chipset, which today can take as long as two months, can be shortened to as few as two days. This eliminates the labour intensive process of manufacturers of cell phones spending a large amount of time checking the reliability and performance of cellular chipsets in their designs.
Phones that allow people to access the internet and book movies, restaurants etc, are already available on the market following the standardization of the new WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) standard.
