Alereon,Inc., the Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology leader for WiMedia and Certified Wireless USB applications, today announced they will demonstrate the first high-performance modules developed by Murata and based on Alereon's AL5000 chipset for worldwide Wireless USB applications at CEATEC(October 2-6 2007 ).
Murata Manufacturing Co,. Ltd. developed the module for the CEATEC demonstration. The module has passed Japanese regulatory TELEC Test Certification, allowing over-the-air operation in band group 6. The module will also be demonstrated at the Murata booth (6E112) during
CEATEC. The demonstrations will include two Wireless USB modules communicating in band group 6 over the air. In addition, modules will be connected to a spectrum analyzer to demonstrate the transmit spectrum across band groups 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Modules will also demonstrate receiver sensitivity through a cabled connection across band groups 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The demonstration will showcase the AL5000-based Wireless USB module that meets frequency spectrum requirements worldwide, including the upper band groups required in Japan, Korea and the European Union.
"With the development of this module, and others which will follow, Alereon is making wireless USB a global reality," said Eric Broockman, CEO of Alereon. "This will allow manufacturers of PCs,peripherals and mobile devices to offer products with new value-added capabilities, such as the ability to transfer data, without wires, at USB speeds, on a worldwide scale."
The AL5000 chipset is ideal for Certified Wireless USB, Bluetooth or WiMedia manufacturers that wish to address the worldwide market,with varying UWB regulations and requirements including the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, and China. A single worldwide AL5000 chipset enables research and development, certification, manufacturing logistics and inventory to be streamlined, resulting in significant cost and time-to-market savings.
Initial module samples are now available to qualified alpha
customers.
