SUNNYVALE, CA - Jan. 7, 2009 - Arada System announced complete WLAN-based RFID solution featuring Atheros ROCm® Technology.
The Loc-Air complete hardware and software solution from Arada Systems is the world's first RFID 802.11a/b/g solution, which leverages Atheros' ROCm technology for mobile WLAN and delivers the breakthrough low-power. It can deliver up to 10 years of operation on a standard double AA battery, stated by Arada. The design features Atheros' 802.11a/b/g WLAN technology with a tuning range of 2.3-2.7GHz and 4.9-5.95GHz, as well as Atheros' single-chip GPS technology, an accelerometer, and a temperature sensor that can be customized to meet the demands of various market segments.
"Arada Systems' Loc-Air technology platform is enabling a new class of applications that require extraordinarily low power consumption and enable a host of new applications and markets that extend beyond more traditional WLAN applications such as routers and laptops," said Praveen Singh, president and CEO of Arada Systems. "We are pleased to be the first to offer an RFID solution that delivers the benefits of the full spectrum of both the 2.4 and 5GHz wireless bands. With Atheros' market-proven, cost-effective mobile WLAN solution behind us, I am confident that we will deliver a highly reliable technology to satisfy even the most demanding industrial requirements for high-performance RFID." "Arada's entry into the RFID market with its innovative wireless-enabled Loc-Air technology should expand the adoption of WLAN-based locationing applications in a wide array of markets including healthcare, transportation and security," said Amir Faintuch, vice president and general manager of the mobile business unit for Atheros. "We are pleased that Atheros' ROCm technologies for WLAN and GPS will support Arada's RFID platform with unmatched wireless performance and versatility, with a cost structure that meets the requirements of the emerging, low-power, Wi-Fi sensor and location markets."
To be noticed, by adding expanded frequency support, Arada's LocAir system enables 2.3-2.7GHz, 4.9-5.95GHz, channelization from 20Mhz, 10MHz and 5MHz, which covers the Wi-Fi®, WiMAX, Public Safety, Automotive (802.11p) and all proprietary bands all over the world.
The white paper from Arada on High Bandwidth Application over Wi-Fi Connection with IEEE 802.11p, and IEEE P1609 (WAVE) Protocols (pdf) reveals Arada's solutin on solving the chanllenges in physical layer, and MAC layer with special focuses on channel utilization efficiency and synchronization between multiple wireless nodes. More specifically, the strengths of Arada's solution include:
- Wi-Fi Radio tuning for FCC Class C Spectral mask
- Consistent channel switching time of less than 3msec
- Efficient time synchronization between nodes
- Low propagation delay from transmit application to receive application
- Less than 2% loss in broadcast messages used for safety
- Efficient channel utilization, with high TCP/UDP data throughput used in infotainment applications.
