Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Agilent is the only company that provides a complete software and hardware solution, which eliminates integration risks, saves money and speeds time to market.
An alternative to swiping a credit card through a terminal, the IrFM Point and Pay Profile enables consumers to beam credit, debit or stored-value card information from their mobile phone or PDA to any vending machine, toll booth, gas pump or ATM equipped with an IR port.
The information then flows through the transaction approval-request infrastructure much as if it were swiped in.
Consumers receive a digital receipt from their mobile phone service provider.
Currently available in Korea and Japan, IrFM point and pay simplifies wireless financial transactions for the consumer while providing security for credit/debit card transactions.
It also helps reduce the cost of card replacements due to loss, theft and wear.
Agilent's HSDL-S500 IrFM protocol stack provides API (application program interface) functions in ANSI C programming language source code for easy interfacing.
Its small code size minimises the use of valuable memory in handheld devices.
The protocol stack is easily ported to other platforms, saving time and resources when platform changes are needed.
The HSDL-S500 software interfaces with standard IrDA protocol stacks (available as the Agilent HSDL-S100 product) and IrOBEX (object exchange) software (available as the Agilent HSDL-S101 product).
Agilent also offers several miniature SIR (serial infra-red) transceivers with a height of only 1.6mm, which is ideal for IrFM applications in the latest ultrathin handheld designs.
Agilent technical support, training and integration services are also available.
All Agilent IrDA-standard products are available through Agilent's direct sales channel and Agilent's worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
