  Database Extracts and Database Access Tools

Portelligent database extracts are data sets drawn from Portelligent's Product Profile Database, which stores the data points which Portelligent has accumulated in systematically analyzing over 500 products. Each extract covers some key aspect of the overall system-level view of the products we research. Examples include categories of ICs (baseband processors in cell phones, for instance, or memory devices), display modules, battery packs, or cross-cutting system-level complexity metrics. Portelligent delivers database extracts to customers in Excel-format files.

Portelligent database access tools permit customers to search our Product Profile Database interactively, to answer key questions in real time. Database access tools currently available are:

  • IC Locator Tool: Answers the question, "In which products has Portelligent seen this IC?"
  • Report Sort: Answers the question, "Which Portelligent reports should I be looking at?" Permits identification of subsets of Portelligent product teardown reports by product maker, product category, cellular communications protocol, and so forth."
  • Die Photo Library: Answers the question, "Does Portelligent have a die photo of this IC, and, if so, can I get a copy?" [Tool currently in beta test]."
