TransferJet to demo speedy wireless at MWC
LONDON – The TransferJet Consortium is due to demonstrate close proximity wireless transfers at data rates that are more than 1,000 times faster than near field communications (NFC) at the Mobile World Congress being held in Barcelona, Feb. 25 to 28.
At the event accessory products and prototypes – USB adapters, SD and SDIO cards – from Sony and Toshiba will be shown working with commercial smartphones and tablets. The consortium also plans to demonstrate a content download service from kiosk machines whereby smartphone and tablet users can download movies, music, e-books and so-on using TransferJet add-ons.
Chips, components, and modules that support TransferJet and available for design-in will also be on show, the consortium said.
TransferJet is a low-power, proximity data transfer technology designed to deliver a transfer data rate of up to 560-Mbits per second using a radio carrier center frequency of typically 4.48-MHz.

The TransferJet Consortium was established in 2008 and registered as a Japanese incorporated association in 2011.
