Communications, Toshiba Corporation today announced an agreement to form a
consortium to develop specifications for interconnecting products using
"TransferJet" a new interoperable wireless transfer technology that enables
rapid transfer of high resolution video, music and images. The "TransferJet
Consortium" (http://www.transferjet.org) plans to promote a wide range of
products and services incorporating TransferJet technology with the aim of
accelerating its adoption throughout the consumer electronics industry.
TransferJet wireless technology enables a high speed data transmission
rate of 560Mbps, while eliminating the need for complex setup and operation.
Directly touching two compliant electronic products together allows files to
be transferred automatically, without the need for an access point. For
example, touching a TV with a digital camera enables photos to be
instantaneously displayed on the TV screen. Alternatively, downloaded music
content can be easily enjoyed by touching a mobile phone to a portable audio
player. TransferJet can be used as a universal interface across all consumer
electronics devices.
The "TransferJet Consortium" will develop specifications and guidelines
ensuring interoperability between products incorporating the technology,
establish licensing schemes and administer the use of the TransferJet logo.
The Consortium will also promote the advantages across industries and to
consumers. Through these initiatives, the Consortium will aim to create and
expand the market for TransferJet products.
