SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®)
(NASDAQ:IDTI) today announced its collaboration with Blu Wireless
Technology to demonstrate integrated wireless
charging with ultra-fast 60 GHz WiGig® data transmission, a
combination that will enable consumers to charge their phones and
tablets while streaming the highest quality 4K HD video and photos to
their televisions and computers—all without the need for cords.
The collaboration will team IDT’s expertise in wireless power with Blu
Wireless’s know-how in WiGig, which allows devices to communicate
wirelessly at multi-gigabit speeds. The single-module technology
targeted by the companies will, for example, enable consumers to
wirelessly charge their devices while cordlessly transmitting
uncompressed video of 1080p directly to their HDTV.
WiGig technology uses the 60 GHz band to deliver 7 GHz bandwidth. A
synchronization of data on a portable device that today would take two
hours and use up nearly a third of a battery’s charge can be completed,
with WiGig, in just 45 seconds and consume only 2 percent of the charge.
IDT’s semiconductors are enabling wireless charging today in a quickly
growing ecosystem of applications that includes smartphones and
accessories, wearables and furniture.
“Growing market demands are requiring easier and faster ways to move
video and massive multimedia files in real time without depleting a
device’s battery,” said Sailesh Chittipeddi, vice president of global
operations and chief technology officer at IDT. “The marriage of
wireless charging and WiGig technology answers that call, providing a
unique user experience that meets the expectations of today’s consumer.”
“Between Blu Wireless’ expertise in WiGig and IDT’s in wireless power,
we are developing a solution that keeps pace with demands in an age of
massive multimedia content,” said Mark Barrett, chief marketing officer
at Blu Wireless. “The unique combination of low-profile 60 GHz phased
array technology and wireless charging capabilities supports the
increased data and ease-of-use demands of mobile users.”
