Companies Extend Mobile Ultrawideband Platform Solutions

WinHEC 2007, Los Angeles (May 15, 2007) – Alereon, Inc., the ultrawideband (UWB) technology leader for mobile WiMedia and solutions based on Certified Wireless USB, and Stonestreet One, Inc., a leading wireless software company focused on complete solutions for local and personal area networks including WiMedia-based UWB, today announced a new wireless USB solution for Microsoft Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded CE platforms including PDA devices and cellular phones. Alereon and Stonestreet One are demonstrating this platform at WinHEC 2007 in Los Angeles.

The mobile phone solution consists of the Alereon AL4000 Certified Wireless USB chipset, the only native device solution currently certified for Wireless USB solutions by the USB-IF, powered by Stonestreet One’s UltraSuite™ for Windows Mobile software and device drivers. Consumer and mobile electronics OEM devices which support compact flash (CF) and SDIO interfaces using Windows Mobile can now incorporate this advanced high speed wireless technology and connect with both legacy wired USB and Certified Wireless USB equipment and platforms, as specified by the USB Implementers Forum. The demonstration includes a Samsung i730 cellular phone with an embedded Certified Wireless USB chipset from Alereon running UltraSuite™ and WiCenter™ for Windows Mobile software, connected to a laptop running the Stonestreet UltraSuite™ and WiCenter™ PC software for Microsoft Windows.

Eric Broockman, CEO of Alereon, commented, 'Alereon and Stonestreet One continue to be pioneers in enabling the mobile wireless USB platform. Cellular phone and PDA makers now have the ability to provide untethered solutions to their customers that can transfer data at high USB speeds. In addition, with the first solutions now certified by the USB-IF, consumer electronics manufacturers can move forward rapidly and with confidence that their products will interoperate with current and future certified solutions.'

Richard Smith, president of Stonestreet One, added, “The mobile and embedded device platform is an excellent fit for UWB technology. By combining our strengths in wireless software with Alereon’s leadership in Wireless USB hardware, we are creating a breakthrough wireless capability for this important market.”
