SYNOPSIS: iAnywhere joins UWB Forum and WiMedia Alliance;
demonstrates integrated Bluetooth/UWB solution at Consumer
Electronics Show LAS VEGAS, 2006 International CES, Jan. 5
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iAnywhere, a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc.
(NYSE:SY), today announced that it has joined the UWB Forum and
WiMedia Alliance Ultrawideband standards bodies. Ultrawideband
(UWB) is a burgeoning wireless communication technology that
enables high-bandwidth, short-range wireless communications. By
joining the respective UWB standards bodies, iAnywhere will help to
define standards that merge the benefits of the high data rate
transfer capabilities of UWB with the maturity of the Bluetooth(R)
software protocol and application profiles. In addition, iAnywhere
plans support for UWB within its mobile device solutions, which
will provide device manufacturers and chip set providers with the
building blocks required to bring both Bluetooth and UWB-enabled
products to market quickly and easily. "Our UWB involvement is a
natural product progression for iAnywhere," stated Nathan
Pendleton, area vice president of Mobile Device Solutions at
iAnywhere. "We have built a solid foundation for Bluetooth with
major device manufacturers and we are excited to offer these
customers additional short- range wireless technologies in the near
future." In 2005, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)
announced intentions to work with developers supporting the UWB
Forum and WiMedia Alliance. iAnywhere has been contributing to that
effort through its participation in the Bluetooth SIG's study
group. iAnywhere plans to extend its core Bluetooth protocol layers
to intelligently use both Bluetooth and UWB transports
simultaneously. This will provide embedded developers with the best
of both wireless technologies -- industry proven software and
application profiles from Bluetooth and the high-data transfer rate
capabilities of UWB. At the CES Pure Wireless event, iAnywhere will
demonstrate an integrated Ultrawideband and Bluetooth wireless
video application communicating between two notebook computers.
Bluetooth radios and iAnywhere's enhanced protocol software will be
used to automatically sense the presence of the other device and
establish both a Bluetooth and UWB connection. The application
determines the optimal communication path allowing rich media
content such as video to be transmitted over the faster UWB
hardware. For more information about iAnywhere's involvement in the
UWB Forum and WiMedia Alliance, please visit the company's booth at
the CES Pure Wireless event, in the Twilight Room at the Flamingo
