Samsung today announced a new high-speed wireless chip for mobile phones that can transfer data at more than twice speeds as current rates.
The Korean-based electronics company's wireless USB (W-USB) chip is designed for the upcoming ultra-wideband (UWB) market, performing at the speed of up to 120Mbps.It will offer the convenience of wireless, the security level of wired USB, and the high-speed performance of UWB to transfer data such as digital photos, movie videos or MP3 music files. The new chip will also have 128-bit AES encryption and a static signal that makes hacking through wiretapping and signal tracing difficult. "One of the keys to wireless connectivity is W-USB technology," said Yiwan Wong, Vice President, System LSI Division, Samsung Electronics. "While W-USB technology is just beginning to ramp up, its application will soon increase with the consumer electronic and mobile phone markets' demand for wireless connectivity technology and UWB's fast download speeds." Samsung's W-USB chip will begin mass production starting in the second quarter.
