Murata UWB Module Based on WiQuest Silicon Obtains TELEC Approval.ALLEN, Texas -- WiQuest Communications, Inc. the 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 complete 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 ) silicon, software and reference design solutions, announced today that WiQuest and its partner, Murata, have successfully gained TELEC approval of UWB modules based on WiQuest silicon. TELEC provides technical regulations conformity certification for wireless technologies in the Japanese market. TELEC granted this approval on April 18, 2007. The solution, which includes an embedded module and associated DWA DWA DreamWorks Animation (stock symbol) DWA Domino Web Access DWA Desert Water Agency (US) DWA Data Warehouse Administrator DWA Designated Waiting Area DWA Dynamic Wavelength Allocation , conforms to TELEC regulations for UWB systems. The TELEC certification provides the assurance that solutions based on WiQuest silicon can be approved for operation in Japan in the 4.2 to 4.8 GHz frequency band. "With TELEC approval achieved, product availability in Japan based on WiQuest silicon is now imminent," said Dr. Matthew B. Shoemake, WiQuest founder, 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. and president. "Coupled with the passing of multiple FCC certifications, WiMedia PHY registration, and WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) A Microsoft facility that provides testing services for hardware and drivers for compliance with its operating systems. WHQL administers various logos that compliant vendors may reprint on their packages. unclassified driver tests, WiQuest's is the most complete ultrawideband solution available on the market." The newly approved platform utilizes WiQuest's award-winning WQST110/101 chipset.
