The L800 chip harnesses WiMedia UWB technology to interoperate with other UWB and Certified Wireless USB products at transfer speeds reaching 480Mbit/s
It supports all compliant packet sizes, burst sizes, transfer sizes, and number of endpoints.
It manages all the functions required by the WiMedia and Certified Wireless USB protocols, including beaconing, encryption, and association.
This makes the L800 ideal for use in printers, scanners, digital camcorders, media players, and other peripherals.
Harnessing WiMedia UWB technology, the L800 interoperates with other wireless USB products at transfer speeds reaching up to 480Mbit/s.
"A wireless peripheral must connect reliably even as other wireless devices come in and out of range", says Reid Augustin, VP of Product Development at LucidPort.
"A WiMedia compliant device dynamically adjusts spectrum usage to prevent interference and collisions".
Both the L800 and its development kit (L800WUSB-RDK) are available now.
The L800 comes in a lead free 108-ball BGA package (11 x 11mm, 0.8mm pitch), priced at US $4.98 for 400,000-unit quantities.
The L800WUSB-RDK is available for US $1500 (one-off).
