Wireless USB developers finally have the means to match their objectives
Products based on the Wireless USB from the USB-IF are expected
for the beginning of next year. To meet their deadlines, developers need efficient
tools to speed up their developments and further enhance quality.
Geneva , Switzerland — September 6, 2005 — Ellisys, a leading
supplier of USB test solutions, today announced the Wireless USB Explorer 300.
This new product is the industry's first protocol analyzer that supports
analyzing WiMedia™ ultra wideband (UWB) and Wireless USB standards
over the air.
Wireless USB ensures that consumers have an easy and secure way to connect
their home, office and mobile devices at optimal speed without cables. As most
cutting-edge technologies, it implies facing challenges that were never experienced
so far. The Wireless USB Explorer 300 is proficient in smoothing firmware and
driver development, preventing interoperability issues, verifying data encryption,
optimizing performance, tuning power management and improving communication
reliability.
Ellisys provides innovative protocol analysis solutions to help developers
produce better devices more efficiently. The Wireless USB Explorer 300
is capable of recording and decoding WiMedia™ ultra wideband and Wireless USB protocols from different perspectives. It can record traffic exchanged
over the air between devices through its external omni directional antenna.
This is the preferred and obvious way to assess devices' true wireless behavior.
With a different setup, it can capture traffic between a MAC and a PHY from
boards currently in the design phase.
If a protocol analyzer was ever strongly recommended for wired-USB, it has
now become an absolute must for Wireless USB developments. With its new
Wireless USB Explorer 300, Ellisys unbinds all the power of Wireless
USB.
