Wireless USB demo meets certified specs
Last week at the Intel Developer Forum Synopsys demonstrated a device controller based on USB-IF's Certified Wireless USB specification
Synopsys has become the first to demonstrate a device controller based on USB-IF's Certified Wireless USB specification, the new wireless extension to USB that combines the speed and security of wired technology with the ease of use of wireless technology. The demonstration, which took place at last week's Intel Developer Forum, showed multimedia files being transferred to and from a PC platform based on the Certified Wireless USB technology and on a device controller IP reference design from Synopsys.

'As a contributor to the specification, Synopsys has been working closely with the earliest implementers of the Certified Wireless USB specification', said Jeff Ravencraft Chairman of the USB Implementers Forum.
'Their progress with this demonstration shows the maturity of the standard'.
'Synopsys' work in the interoperability lab is a great example of how to successfully develop products based on the specification'.
'As the world leader in connectivity IP, Synopsys' demonstration of a Wireless USB device proves the standard and ecosystem are now ready for broad-based implementation', said Guri Stark, vice president, Synopsys' Solutions Group.
'Our early involvement will help accelerate the adoption of the standard in the embedded IP market'.
The USB-IF Certified Wireless USB specification builds on the success of wired USB and helps move USB technology into the wireless future.
The specification gives portable devices such as PCs or consumer electronics the ability to connect without cables.
Certified Wireless USB supports high-bandwidth data streams, while requiring only a fraction of the power of existing standards.
