Alereon CEO to Discuss the Future of Ultrawideband at VentureWire Semiconductor Venture Fair IV.AUSTIN, Texas -- Alereon, a leading fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. developing wireless solutions for the Ultrawideband (UWB (Ultra-WideBand) A wireless technology that uses less power and provides higher speed than 802.11 Wi-Fi networks or first-generation Bluetooth products. UWB is expected to provide wireless video transmission for home theater systems, cable TV, auto safety and ) and Wireless USB (W-USB) markets, announced today that CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Eric Broockman will be speaking at Semiconductor Venture Fair IV being held February 23 and 24 in San Francisco, Calif. Broockman, who speaks at 9:45 a.m. on February 23, and 9:10 a.m. on February 24, will present a company overview including Alereon's industry-leading technology and an overview of the current state of the UWB market. UWB is a high-speed, low-power wireless technology that aims to make life easier by eliminating the tangle of wires that connects personal computers, audio and video equipment, consumer electronics and mobile devices. Working in conjunction with leading end-equipment manufacturers in these industries, Alereon's products will provide complete solutions for MultiBand OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A digital transmission technique that uses a large number of carriers spaced apart at slightly different frequencies. UWB-based applications, including a new wireless version of the Universal Serial Bus See USB. (hardware, standard) Universal Serial Bus - (USB) An external peripheral interface standard for communication between a computer and external peripherals over an inexpensive cable using biserial transmission. (USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. ). Mr. Broockman's presentation will discuss Alereon's leading status and differentiation in the UWB space. Alereon is the first and only company to demonstrate a 480 Mbps MBOA MBOA Multiband OFDM Alliance MBOA Manitoba Building Officials Association MBOA Maryland Building Officials Association MBOA Matthews Boat Owners Association MBOA Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization Algorithm MBOA Mayor and Board of Aldermen MBOA Mr. PHY See physical layer and physical. chipset. Mr. Broockman also will discuss the future of the digital living room and the market evolution of UWB. "I'm enthusiastic about this opportunity to share information about the progress of UWB at the Semiconductor Venture Fair," said Mr. Broockman. "This conference is always an exciting place to discuss new influential technologies with the investment community and other entrepreneurs."
