AUSTIN, Texas -- Motorola Inc. has signed an agreement to acquire the assets of XtremeSpectrum, Inc., a
pioneer of ultra-wideband (UWB) solutions for multimedia connectivity.
XtremeSpectrum's UWB solutions have already been sampled to several leading
consumer equipment manufacturers in 2003.
XtremeSpectrum announced it would develop UWB solutions in June 2002,
after the Federal Communications Commission approved rules for the commercial
use of this wireless technology. The radio is designed to achieve 100
megabits per second data rates while consuming less than 200 milliwatts of
power and is designed to provide wireless connectivity technology for products
such as set-top boxes, digital displays, camcorders, DVD players, digital
video recorders, and digital cameras. XtremeSpectrum's solution is an ultra
wideband impulse radio that is designed to simultaneously provide high data
rates, low power, low cost and low complexity. The solution has built-in
quality of service designed to enable wireless distribution of real-time,
high-definition television and other forms of streaming multimedia.
Motorola plans to work closely with customers to embed the technology into
an array of consumer products for demonstration by the end of this year.
