| 6/3/08 - Ozmo Devices announced that the company is collaborating with Intel Corporation to enable low-power devices to operate with Intel's Wi- Fi Personal Area Network (Wi-Fi PAN) technology. Ozmo Devices' technology will be publicly demonstrated for the first time on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, at Intel's Booth #L0816 at Computex at the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall, Taiwan. Attendees will see first hand how Ozmo Devices' patent-pending technology extends Intel's Wi-Fi PAN technology to include connectivity with low-power wireless peripherals such as mice and headsets.
According to Dave Timm, Ozmo Devices' CEO, the company's low-power solution benefits users as well as platform and peripheral developers. "With the rapid proliferation of Wi-Fi enabled platforms, from PCs and game consoles to smart phones, there's a tremendous benefit to enabling wireless peripheral connectivity over Wi-Fi without adding complexity and cost to the platform. Legacy technologies such as Bluetooth require that another, dedicated radio be added to the platform and compromise on the performance, battery life, and scalability demanded by today's wireless connectivity applications. In addition to delivering superior performance, Ozmo Devices' technology also provides a better user experience, which will translate into accelerated adoption of wireless peripherals and, ultimately, a preference for Wi-Fi enabled platforms designed to drive them." Ozmo Devices' low-power technology includes an advanced protocol driver that leverages the Wi-Fi chip on the host side and a highly integrated, ultra-low power IC, for use in wireless peripherals. This unique approach delivers unprecedented performance and cost advantages for system developers while at the same time solving integration and interoperability problems associated with traditional approaches. "We believe that Computex participants will share our enthusiasm to see Wi-Fi deliver more than just WLAN connectivity," commented Randy Nickel, director of wireless marketing for Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "Ozmo Devices extends Wi-Fi functionality with a solution for low-power peripherals that can connect without requiring an additional radio inside the platform." Ozmo Devices' Timm added that the company looks forward to broad adoption of its technology in applications ranging from mobile computing and communications to home entertainment.
