Cypress WirelessUSB Receives the Electronics Industry Design Award For Innovation from the IML Publishing Group.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- 2.4GHz Wireless Interconnect Solution Praised For Performance and Global Operability Operability is the ability to keep a system in a functioning and operating condition. In a computing systems environment with multiple systems this includes the ability of products, systems and business processes to work together to accomplish a common task such as finding and Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corporation, the world's largest supplier of 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. products, today announced that its WirelessUSB(TM) 2.4GHz wireless interconnect solution has received the IML See Simputer. IML - Initial Microprogram Load Group's "Electronics Industry Design Award for Innovation" 2004. The product will be formally recognized in the upcoming issue of Electronics Product Design, a magazine published in the UK targeting engineers involved in design or development of electronics components and systems. The judges selected WirelessUSB due to its unique combination of robust performance as a point-to-point or multi-point-to-point wireless solution and low cost targeted at PC and consumer applications. It can be deployed worldwide, regardless of regional frequency requirements and features a highly integrated radio transceiver plus digital baseband. WirelessUSB also helps manufacturers decrease development time, component count and system costs while improving operating range, power consumption and latency. This award is the 5th in a series of acknowledgements that Cypress WirelessUSB products have received in the past two years. Other previous awards include EDN magazine's "Innovation of the Year" award and the highly respected French "Electron d'Or" award from Electronique. "We are honoured to receive the Design Award for Innovation from IML. It recognizes the strong market position WirelessUSB holds for manufacturers and end users of computer PC peripherals (mice, keyboards, remotes), game controllers, toys, and wireless sensor networks, as it offers the best combination of performance, interference immunity, and costs versus all other competing wireless technologies", said Paul Bentley, Director of Sales for Cypress Semiconductor in Northern Europe. Cypress's 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.). solution provides input devices with 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity to a PC laptop or any device with a USB interface. It enables communication at distances of up to 10 meters, with an average latency of less than four milliseconds and a transmission rate of 62.5kbps. A WirelessUSB system acts as a USB HID-class device, so no special drivers are necessary. About Cypress Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) is Connecting From Last Mile to First Mile(TM) with high-performance solutions for personal, network access, enterprise, metro switch and core communications-system applications. Cypress Connects(TM) using wireless, wireline, digital and optical transmission standards, including USB, Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. and DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing . Leveraging its process and system-level expertise, Cypress makes industry-leading physical layer devices, framers and network search engines, along with a broad portfolio of high-bandwidth memories, timing technology solutions and reconfigurable mixed-signal arrays.
