Transferring large amounts of data at high speed just by holding devices close together
TransferJet Close Proximity Wireless Transfer Technology Developed
 
Sony has developed TransferJet, a close proximity wireless transfer technology, that can transfer large files such as photographs and videos from mobile devices such as cellular phones and digital cameras to PCs or TVs simply by holding the devices close together.
Sony announced this technology at CES International, held in the US in January this year, and it attracted interest from a variety of media, both domestic Japanese and international.
This article presents Sony's unique TransferJet close proximity wireless transfer technology and a discussion between two of the developers.

TransferJet Specifications

. .
TransferJet is a wireless technology that allows a pair of devices that want to communicate to do so simply by bringing them close together.
While the communication distance is only up to a short 3 cm, it achieves ultrahigh-speed transfers with an effective data transfer rate of 375 Mbits/s. TransferJet needs none of the complex connection settings or access points required by current wireless systems. Thus we expect TransferJet to be able to be widely used as a universal interface between a wide variety of equipment types. For example, a digital camera image could be displayed on a TV screen just by holding the camera close to the TV, or audio files could be transferred just by holding a cellular phone close to a portable audio terminal.
