Wifi Revolution

D-Link (News - Alert) has selected Ubicom, Inc., provider of communications processor and software solutions, as the processor and software supplier for D-Link's Wi-Fi Internet Picture Frame (DSM-210).

With the DSM-210, users can drag and drop photos on their computer desktop and have them immediately appear on a frame in their home or half way around the world.

Thanks to the collaboration, weather, stock quotes, shared photos and other personalized content are delivered directly from a free D-Link online account so that users can customize what they see on the frame.

"Ubicom is very sensitive to our needs and always provides us with solutions that allow us to innovate for our customers," said AJ Wang, CTO of D-Link. "Our new picture frame with built-in Wi-Fi and Internet capability sets a new standard for ease of use and access to personalized content in this market."

The DSM-210 supports Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS). When used with any of the latest D-Link routers, it can be securely connected to the home network and associated to the online account with a few simple steps. The DSM-210 is based on the Ubicom IP5170 multithreaded processor. Pan and zoom, image scaling and sophisticated transition effects are all supported by the built in DSP instructions. Flexible interfaces support all of the popular memory card types and formats.

"The launch of the DSM-210 demonstrates D-Link's focus on making products easy to use for the consumer," said Cathal Phelan, CEO of Ubicom. "We are pleased to be a partner with D-Link as they enter new and exciting markets."
