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. |
