Lattice Wants Manufacturers to Replace USB Connectors with its SiBEAM Snap 12 Gbps Wireless Technology

Lattice Semiconductor announced the expansion of its Lattice Snap wireless connector product family to support broader adoption of 60 GHz wireless technology in consumer and embedded applications. The solution allows direct replacing of physical interfaces such as USB and HDMI in consumer devices using short-range wireless technology, allowing waterproof, thinner products that are less prone to mechanical failures.

SiBEAM, a pioneer in developing intelligent millimeter wave technologies for wireless communications, was the first to build 60GHz chipsets using standard CMOS technology. Now SiBEAM introduced two new UltraGig solutions which enable multi-gigabit data transfer rates and 4K video for mobile devices, ultrabooks and wireless docks with full 802.11ad compatibility.
