Ultrawideband system manufacturers now benefit from a complete analysis solution
Products based on WiMedia Ultra Wideband and Wireless USB
from the USB-IF are expected this year. An increasing number of companies worldwide
need efficient solutions to leverage their UWB developments.
Geneva, Switzerland — January 24, 2006 — Ellisys, a leading
supplier of USB test solutions, today announced the Wired Ultrawideband Kit
for its Wireless USB Explorer 300 protocol analyzer. This kit enables companies
to start developing UWB systems right now while emissions are still being regulated
by governments.
WiMedia-based Ultrawideband specifications have been architected and optimized
for wireless personal-area networks delivering high-speed (480 Mbps and beyond),
low-power multimedia capabilities for the PC, consumer electronics, mobile
and automotive market segments. Wireless information is transmitted over-the-air
between devices through electromagnetic fields. These fields must stay within
certain limits that have already been defined and accepted in the USA but regulations
are still in progress in many other countries. By connecting UWB devices to
the Wireless USB Explorer 300 using the Wired Ultrawideband Kit, Ellisys eliminates
emissions to ensure governmental regulations are respected. The kit can also
be used to avoid interferences between unrelated nearby UWB systems, for example
in development labs or trade shows.
With its Wired Ultrawideband Kit, Ellisys offers once again a full range
of analysis solutions matching the most challenging requirements. Depending
on the option chosen, the Wireless USB Explorer 300 is able to probe Ultrawideband
waves over-the-air or though high-frequency cables, or even on the WiMedia
MAC/PHY Interface.
The Wireless USB Explorer 300 and its Wired Ultrawideband Kit are available today.
