Advances come for Near
Field Communication to initiate high throughput wireless connectivity
June 07, 2007
Artimi, Inc.
is bringing leading edge Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to multi-protocol ultra wideband (UWB) wireless connectivity.
With the addition of NFC for simple, secure association, portable devices using Certified Wireless USB, next-generation Bluetooth
or WLP connectivity can be secured for high data rate transfer and file sharing by either touching the two devices or passing
closely creating a secure wireless pairing with no user intervention, allowing consumers to transfer data and share files
easily and securely. Artimi's multi-protocol WiMedia-based UWB wireless semiconductors integrated with NFC for secure
association offer more than 120Mbps user throughput across all protocols.
Artimi Advances Near Field Communication
for Secure High Throughput Wireless Connectivity
Artimi's Integration of NFC and UWB Offers Simple, Secure
Association and Data Rates of More Than 120Mbps Over Certified Wireless USB, Next-Generation Bluetooth and WiMedia Logical
Link Control Protocol (WLP)
TAIPEI, TAIWAN, June 6, 2007--Computex Taipei--Artimi, Inc., developer of wireless
semiconductors for portable consumer electronics, brings leading edge Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to multi-protocol
ultra wideband (UWB) wireless connectivity. With the addition of NFC for simple, secure association, portable devices using
Certified Wireless USB, next-generation Bluetooth or WLP connectivity can be secured for high data rate transfer and file
sharing. Artimi's integrated NFC and multi-protocol UWB technology is being showcased this week at Computex Taipei.
As the world becomes more digitized, the need to transfer information quickly and accurately between people and devices
is increasingly important. With the proliferation of wireless devices, secure association between two devices is paramount,
and NFC promises to do that as easily as possible. To use NFC with UWB protocols, such as Certified Wireless USB, next-generation
Bluetooth or WLP, two devices are either touched together or passed closely and a secure wireless pairing is made with no
user intervention, allowing consumers to transfer data and share files easily and securely. Artimi's multi-protocol WiMedia-based
UWB wireless semiconductors integrated with NFC for secure association offer more than 120Mbps user throughput across all
protocols.
"Pairing of wireless devices should be ultra simple and ultra secure," says Colin Macnab,
CEO of Artimi. "By integrating NFC, Artimi is delivering ultra simple, and ultra secure wireless connectivity, and in
particular further strengthening our lead in next-generation Bluetooth and Certified Wireless USB. Our key advantage is that
there is no need to install host or device drivers, it just works. We're leading the effort in next-generation wireless
association to ensure ease of use not only for product developers -- but ultimately consumers."
Artimi is
also demonstrating other UWB technologies this week at Computex, including ultra simple wireless file transfer between portable
consumer devices over WiMedia-based protocols. Consumers can take pictures on a digital camera and transfer these to a standard
PC over Wireless USB. Files can then be transferred from PC to a storage device using Wireless USB, and from PC to PC using
WiMedia Logical Link Control Protocol (WLP -- formerly called WiNet). This diversity of connectivity options, further enhanced
by NFC for secure association, shows the maturity of Artimi's production-ready A-150 MAC and applications processor for
ultra simple and ultra secure connectivity.
