Wireless connectivity is expanding rapidly. The emerging wireless multimedia transmission technologies can be used for various pervasive devices, such as mobile phones and consumer electronics. However other more uncommon applications such as health care, environmental monitoring, security, industrial and automation equipment are also starting to use wireless technologies.
Wireless technology is based on radio technologies to provide secure, reliable and fast connectivity: Examples include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, State of the Art technologies such as Transfer Jet and Wireless Charging or the upcoming Near Field Communication. Toshiba, as one of the world's largest suppliers of semiconductor products, is assuring to produce the best integration, price and performance for the mobile market. By way of extensive research, development activities and close collaboration with standards bodies, such as MPEG or the Bluetooth SIG, Toshiba ensures the products are compliant with global standards.
Thus the new technical solutions help the industry rapidly develop standards-compliant mobile products found in any applications of every-day use. The latest range of Toshiba products for mobile applications is pushing the boundaries of wireless communication even further, providing reliable, high-quality components that support the world's more visible brands. The Toshiba Bluetooth solutions for example are perfectly suitable for sharing small amounts of data among mobile devices in a short range.
Toshiba features a true one-chip integrated solution, single or dual mode supporting different Bluetooth standards versions including “Bluetooth Low Energy“ for integration in remote control, headsets, watches etc. The Toshiba TransferJet near-field IC, modules and accessories enable high-speed communication between two devices positioned next to each other. This technology allows sharing a huge volume of data, media or video 7 times faster than Wi-Fi. Additionally Transfer-Jets “Ease of Use” will simplify the complexity of utilizing this technology. Another emerging wireless technology isNear Field Communication, also known as NFC.
It enables mobile devices to automatically exchange data securely when two devices are physically very close to each other. This proximity connectivity technology enables transfer of high confidential data and will be used in various industry devices - especially for payments. NFC capability will likely be used for a surprisingly diverse range of non-payment applications, including gaming, security, authentication and information or automobile, medical and transportation.
Most of the technology enablers that make pervasive wireless computing feasible have been deployed with little consideration to the energy they consume during their operations. However, today, it is imperative that new standards, protocols, and approaches are explored to minimize power consumption of various components that constitute the IT infrastructure. With its very rich asset of competitive Wireless technologies, Toshiba is preparing the next steps by combining those technologies to facilitate cost reduction, energy saving and feature enhancement.
