Atheros Communications’ AR6001GL radio-on-a-chip mobile (ROCm) WLAN solution has been selected to provide 802.11g connectivity in a wireless memory card for digital cameras. The memory card will use Wi-Fi connectivity to upload, save, share and print photos. The card will be designed by Eye-Fi, and is expected to debut this fall.
"Atheros' ROCm Wi-Fi solution allows us to offer the world's first memory card that enables wireless connectivity in virtually any digital camera that uses SD media,” said Jef Holove, CEO of Eye-Fi. "Now consumers can set their photos free automatically and experience a whole new way of sharing and enjoying memories.”
