Alereon to Demonstrate WUSB & Bluetooth Powered by UWB at Intel's Developers Forum (IDF) in Japan & Taiwan.AUSTIN, Texas -- Alereon, Inc.:
Who: Alereon, Inc., the foremost provider of complete solutions
for WiMedia ultrawideband (UWB) applications
(www.alereon.com)
What: Will be demonstrating its industry-leading UWB technology
powering wireless USB (WUSB) and Bluetooth applications for
portable electronics and computing platforms at two IDF
events in Asia
When: April 6-7, 2006 in Tokyo, Japan
April 10-11, 2006 in Taiwan, Taipei
Where: Booth E40 at IDF Japan at the Tokyo Prince Hotel in the
Park Tower in Tokyo, Japan
Booth A26 at IDF Taiwan at the Taipei International
Convention Center in Taipei, Taiwan
Why: Alereon will be demonstrating how a handheld PC with an
embedded camera can directly transmit high-bit photos, via
UWB point-to-point connections, to an HP photo printer.
Additionally, this will show how UWB technology can be
successfully coupled with existing USB software to offer
consumers a seamless and existing foundation for running
wireless UWB applications on both handheld devices and
peripherals.
Alereon will also be demonstrating the coupling of UWB with
BLUEtusk(TM) Bluetooth software from Open Interface North
America. Currently, Bluetooth version 2.0 devices operate at
data rates that can be frustratingly slow for the transmission
and download of large files. Alereon will show how the
combination of BLUEtusk(TM) software and UWB hardware can
provide a better solution for large data transfers.
The demonstration will pair two laptops, each enabled with an
UWB module and a Bluetooth dongle. Attendees will see a
standard Bluetooth file transfer begin between two laptops
that operates at a maximum rate of well under three Mbps and
takes several minutes. During the file transmission a switch
will be made to the UWB radios using a Bluetooth software
solution to leverage the software stack of Bluetooth while
operating Alereon's WiMedia radio. Achieving data rates up to
480 Mbps, the file transfer will complete almost
instantaneously. Alereon's EVB4002 radio operating under the
Bluetooth software stack exhibits the speed and ultimate power
saving proposition of UWB technology.

About Alereon's Technology Alereon provides complete solutions including silicon, development systems, hardware, software, antennas and reference designs for 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.). and WiMedia ultrawideband systems. The AL4000 family includes the AL4100 WiMedia RF Transceiver, the AL4200 WiMedia BaseBand Processor and the AL4300 Wireless USB device Media Access Controller and BaseBand Processor (MAC/BBP). About Alereon, Inc. Alereon, Inc. is a 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. providing complete solutions for Wireless USB and WiMedia 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 ) applications. A technology pioneer, Alereon was first to demonstrate a WiMedia PHY See physical layer and physical. running at 480Mbps in October of 2004. Alereon's products promise to replace the complex tangle of wiring used to interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. today's consumer electronics, computer peripheral, and mobile devices with high-bandwidth, low-power, low-cost wireless links.

About Bluetooth Solutions from Open Interface North America Open Interface North America OINA) is a privately owned embedded Bluetooth software provider based in Seattle, Washington and was founded in 2000. The company is known for highly efficient, scalable, portable and quality audio software. Open Interface North America's Bluetooth solutions ship in tens of millions of consumer devices worldwide. BLUEmagic(R) 3.0 is a compact, modular, high-performance Bluetooth protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). designed specifically for embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. . Initially qualified in July 2002 and qualified for Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) An acronym occasionally used to reflect an advancement in transmission or transfer speed. For example, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR provides a dramatic increase in speed over the previous version. See Bluetooth. in March 2005, it supports the widest range of Bluetooth profiles  The introduction to this article is vague. To comply with Wikipedia's guidelines, it should be improved. in the industry. BLUEtusk is Open Interface
