The Mobile Terminal and Multimedia Team (MTM) was established in late 2004. The goal of the team is to develop IC Design technology and applied research on mobile technology, multimedia and performance computing over portable solutions and products, with a specific focus on the miniaturization and convergence.
Multimedia technology is regarded as one of the killer applications in future mobile communication systems. Three areas which are believed to be the crucial success factors for the mobile industry in the coming years have been identified, namely, Video and Media Processing, Java(TM) Processing, and Digital TV.

To achieve the goal, the team strives to develop local expertise, domain knowledge and IC Design technology, and based on the solid foundation, turn them into various solutions to sustain the competitive advantage of regional IC Design and electronics industry.
We are confident that with our extensive expertise, we are able to attract regional manufacturers to adopt solutions developed by ASTRI to expand their core competence.
Starting with a group of overseas veterans, the team is ever growing with local talents. These experts have comprehensive experience and technical know-how in various critical areas in the processing industry, including architecture, algorithm, hardware, software and solutions. Our aim is to develop the necessary core technology and competence required in the next-generation multimedia solutions.
The Algorithm division provides R&D services to develop and optimize various media processing algorithms, in addition to the current technologies on H.264, AVS-M and other media processing standards on established computer architectures.
The Processor Architecture division is tasked for the design and development of high-performance, low-power programmable processor solutions to address the diverse needs of the handheld computing market.
The Hardware division is responsible for the realization of design and processor architecture in IC products through frontend design, prototyping and backend processing.
The Software division is formed with veterans, building parallel processing software and tool-chains to expedite the parallel computing architectures.
Lastly, the System and Solution division integrates various R&D solutions into tangible reference designs to facilitate the commercial adoption.
