Artimi UWB Silicon Supports Global Operation with WUSB and Bluetooth

(Business News & Technology News, 10 Apr 2006)

Artimi has announced their WiMedia UWB solutions support low band and the high band operations above 6 GHz, as adopted by the Bluetooth SIG, in the same device. Artimi further announced tape out the RF silicon to support both low band (3-5 GHz) and high band (6-9 GHz) operation, designed to be compliant with the emerging worldwide UWB regulations.

Artimi's silicon supports WiMedia band groups 1, 3, 4 and 6, and FFI in the 4.2-4.8 GHz. It has features to support Detect and Avoid (DAA) operation in the 3-5 GHz band, permitting longer-range operation once the regulators have approved this technology. The support for 6-9 GHz operation meets the Bluetooth SIG's requirement for Bluetooth over WiMedia UWB applications.
