CameraJET UWB Solution Available Through Alereon-Spectec Collaboration

By Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor

Fabless semiconductor company Alereon, in partnership with Spectec Computer Co. Ltd.,  a leading provider of SDIO solutions for mobile devices, announced the availability of the Spectec CameraJet Wireless Ultra Wideband (UWB) Solution.




CameraJet is wireless technology that provides users with a fast and simple way to get their media from their mobile devices either to their hard drives or to their personal computers, according to company officials.

The Spectec solution features SDU-7200 Wi-Jet SD card and the SDU-7500 Wi-Jet USB dongle. Both are powered by the Alereon ECMA and ISO standard AL6000 Ultra Wideband chipset, company officials said.

Alereon uses the industry standard Ultra Wideband radio technology to develop low-power, blazing fast wireless solutions ideal for connecting media rich products and displays, according to company officials.

The Spectec Wireless CameraJet solution allows digital still camera (DSC) and digital video camcorders (DVC) to quickly and wirelessly connect to HDTVs, PCs, digital media adapters and mass storage devices. The devices featuring CameraJet can transfer and view pictures or stream videos without removing the media.

CameraJet includes a dual-port FLASH memory controller and SD host/device controller which allow the UWB system to access and wirelessly transmit media directly from FLASH memory without using the camera’s processor, company officials said.

“One of the biggest bottlenecks in our new mobile world is moving and viewing data from mobile devices,” said Eric Broockman, Alereon’s CEO, in a statement. “Spectec’s innovative SD technology provides the ability to combine the on-chip FLASH controller and the SD host/device controller on a single SD card.”

The set up process is made simpler. Users need to insert the SD card into the DSC or DVC SD card slot, plug a small USB dongle in the PC or hard drive and it is ready to go.

According to S.T Joung, general manager of Spectec, “The Alereon solution is fast, easy to use, requires no drivers and gives us superior performance vs. WiFi (News - Alert). For consumers this is a great way to finally wirelessly access your media.”

Spectec CameraJet solution is sampling now with production in February 2011, the company said. The product is on display at CES (News - Alert) in Spectec’s booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall 4, booth #35164.

In other news,  Alereon announced the addition of several new wireless HDMI reference designs to the company's UWB wireless solution offerings. The new designs are: The AL5750 1080p Wireless UWB Audio/Video Adapter, the AL5810/11 Wireless HDMI Encoder/Decoder and the AL5820/21 Wireless HDMI Encoder/Decoder with 3D support.
