Alereon Expands into India; Opens R&D Facility in Pune for UWB Chipsets.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 Leader Continues to Drive Development of Certified Wireless USB The wireless version of the universal serial bus (USB). Using ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, wireless USB is designed to provide the same 480 Mbits/sec data rate as USB 2.0 within two meters (6.6 ft.) or 110 Mbps within 10 meters (33 ft.). AUSTIN, Texas -- Alereon, Inc., the Certified Wireless USB technology leader for mobile ultrawideband (UWB) WiMedia, today announced the opening of Alereon Semiconductors Pvt. Ltd., the company's new product oriented research and development (R&D) facility in Pune, India. Alereon's new state-of-the art operation expands Alereon's team to accommodate the growth in interest for the company's certified 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. solutions. The focus of the R&D center will be to continue to develop the company's patented UWB chipsets, such as the AL4000, for the next generation of products. "The expansion of our development efforts to include a new facility in Pune will strengthen our role in bringing new UWB solutions to the market," said Eric Broockman, 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. of Alereon.
