Monitor What Is Happening in the Home or Office from Anywhere in the World Using a Web Browser


Sheffield, UK and IRVINE, CA – Sept. 4, 2003 /The Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- Linksys®, a division of Cisco Systems Inc., the leading provider of broadband, wireless and networking hardware for the consumer and Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) markets, today announced its Wireless-B Internet Video Camera (WVC11B), which enables the viewing of live video from a web browser anywhere in the world.

Unlike standard “web cams” that require an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own IP address so it can connect directly to any existing Ethernet or Wireless network. Advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces live, high-quality video with 320x240 resolution. Advanced features include sending email notifications when motion is detected, and recording images with date and time stamps.

Makes Possible Wireless Links that Work Using Nothing More Than a 0.4mm X 0.4mm Chip, One of the World's Smallest ICs

Sheffield, UK and Tokyo Japan, September 04 2003 /The Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, NYSE: HIT) announced that it has developed a new version of its RFID µ-chip embedding an antenna. When using Hitachi's original µ-chip, one of the world's smallest RFID ICs measuring only 0.4mm X 0.4mm, an external antenna must be attached to the chip to allow external devices to read the 128-bit ID number stored in its ROM (Read-Only-Memory). This newly developed version, however, features an internal antenna, enabling chips to employ the energy of incoming electrical waves to wirelessly transmit its ID number to a reader. The 0.4mm X 0.4mm chip can thus operate entirely on its own, making it possible to use µ-chip as RFID IC tags without the need to attach external devices.

Sheffield, UK, August 23 2003 /The Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- RTX has developed a software framework that makes it possible to use the same Man Machine Interface (MMI) in various technologies and with various technological limitations. This shortens development time and gives a faster return on investment.

The software framework gives a competitive advantage to a handset manufacturer because it is then able to use the same MMI in all its phones, from cordless to 3G to smart phones. To accomplish this versatility, we use a traditional Three Tier solution; thus the user applications are shielded against technology changes.
