World’s First Single-chip Solution Features
Ultra High-bandwidth Link to Wirelessly Replace Physical
Connectors
SiBEAM, a pioneer and leader in millimeter wave technologies for
wireless communications, today announced SiBEAM Snap™ wireless
connector technology that will not only transform how consumers
connect their devices, but will enable thinner and more robust
mobile devices.
Consumers today use their mobile devices everywhere and expect
those devices to have stunning designs and protected from everyday
mishaps such as spilled coffee in the office or water damage on the
ski slope. While wireless technologies such as LTE, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, WirelessHD®, and wireless charging have provided
consumers the freedom to use their mobile device anywhere, physical
connectors continue to limit device robustness and industrial
design.
Revolutionary SiBEAM Snap technology has been architected to
replace physical connectors on a wide variety of devices including
smartphones, tablets, 2-in-1 laptops, action cameras, wireless
docks, and point-of-sales (POS) kiosks. By replacing physical
connectors with SiBEAM Snap wireless connectors, device
manufacturers are liberated to design more elegant devices for
consumers that are completely wireless, thinner, lighter and better
protected from damage caused by water, mud, and dust.
SiBEAM Snap technology is an ideal enhancement to wireless power
or wireless charging that is rapidly becoming an essential feature
in smartphones and tablets. When combined with wireless charging,
SiBEAM Snap technology can completely replace the USB, HDMI, or
DisplayPort connectors for data and video transfers and power
charge, allowing for a truly connector-free mobile device.
SiBEAM is announcing its first two Snap single-chip integrated
circuit (IC) solutions – the SB6212 Snap transmitter and SB6213
Snap receiver – designed to replace any USB 2.0 or USB 3.0
connector and deliver up to 12Gb/s of bi-directional throughput
wirelessly, providing the bandwidth for high-speed video and data
transfer.
“As a leader in wireless power, IDT delivers ultra-compact
semiconductors that enable our customers to develop sleek consumer
devices with ever-shrinking form factors,” said Majid Kafi, senior
marketing director of IDT’s Analog and Power Division. “SiBEAM
shares our vision of a wireless world, and we look forward to
collaborate on innovations like its Snap technology to expand the
wireless ecosystem.”
“Snap technology demonstrates SiBEAM’s commitment to innovate in
the connectivity space, revolutionizing the mobile landscape with a
true wireless connector solution,” said David Kuo, senior director
of marketing at SiBEAM, Inc. “Snap technology leverages our proven
millimeter wave technology expertise that frees designers from all
mechanical constraints of connectors, allowing for a new class of
thinner, more functional, and elegant mobile devices.”
