Intel XScale Technology Based Processors Bring Advanced Power and Performance to Wireless Monitors.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2002 Top makers of smart display devices have selected processors based on the Intel(R) XScale(TM) technology to power their new wireless monitors, Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking announced today. In addition, Intel has developed a reference design to help speed the development of a range of new generation of smart displays powered by Microsoft Corporation's Mira(1) technology. Mira is a new set of Windows(1) technologies that enables users to wirelessly connect to the Windows XP The previous client version of Windows. XP was a major upgrade to the client version of Windows 2000 with numerous changes to the user interface. XP improved support for gaming, digital photography, instant messaging, wireless networking and sharing connections to the Internet. PC from anywhere in the home via battery-operated smart display devices. The Intel XScale technology provides the performance and low-power consumption to process the wireless data interchange An interchange is a location where two things meet, usually perform some kind of exchange, and possibly go on their ways again. It is most commonly used in four contexts:
The introduction of wireless monitors means users will no longer be limited to typing on a keyboard in a den or office. Instead, consumers can use their computer to listen to music, monitor news and get weather updates while cooking, watching TV or relaxing with friends. Philips Electronics and Viewsonic(R) Corporation plan to use the Intel(R) PXA250 applications processor to power their Mira-enabled products. In addition, original design manufacturers AboCom and Tatung have selected Intel for their new devices to take advantage of the high performance and low power benefits of the Intel applications processor. These products are planned to be available around the winter holiday 2002 season. "Intel continues to work very closely with Microsoft on the Mira concept, specifications, and reference platforms," said Mike Iannitti, director of Intel's Extended Computing computing - computer Operation. "Intel is delivering a highly scalable platform that benefits from the high-performance, low-power features of the Intel PXA250 applications processor, and allows wireless monitors to work efficiently and effectively while accessing PC functions anywhere in the home." Intel also will make available to Mira device manufacturers an optimized reference design to help speed their product development. As part of the reference design, Intel will provide many of the necessary elements, including Intel StrataFlash(R) memory and Intel wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area technologies to help design teams create innovative Mira products. This first Intel reference design will be focused on the Mira remote mobile monitor with a 10.4-inch, 800 x 600 16-bit per pixel display. Future platforms will deliver technologies for a primary detachable de·tach tr.v. de·tached, de·tach·ing, de·tach·es 1.
