CONTACT:       DATE:   SUBJECT:	Julie Montez, VP Business Development julie_montez at orangeware.com (714) 998-9003 ext. 111   March 28th, 2005   OrangeWare, member of the WiMedia Alliance, releases two UWB Software Development Driver Tools. Demonstration planned at the WUSB Developers Conference.
Anaheim, CA – OrangeWare, the leading provider of USB and Wireless USB drivers has just announced two new WiMedia-MBOA Ultrawideband development tools. These tools include a Wire Adapter Development Driver and a UWB Developer Utility Program. Targeted at supporting Wireless USB hardware designers, the two new software products are expected to optimize performance and dramatically accelerate the time to market. Wire Adapter Development Driver The first development tool is OrangeWare’s Wireless USB driver for Wire Adapters. Hardware engineers can develop their USB/ARM/MAC firmware in an easy, logical step by step manner ensuring steady progress while proving their design with the OrangeWare driver. The development package includes twenty hours of engineering consulting services. Consulting can be used for creating custom test loops or debug statements to speed up the design process. It can also be used to implement and test any unique extensions to the WiMedia or Wireless USB specifications contemplated by UWB hardware designers. UWB Developer Utility Program The second tool is a utility program which is included with the USB Wire Adapter Development Driver. Its purpose is to provide developers with a flexible application whereby engineers can test, statistically measure and exercise “what if” questions, resulting in improved functionality of their UWB designs. For example, the ability to test, change and ultimately optimize memory allocations and RPipe settings will guarantee a highly efficient end product with optimized performance at the lowest manufacturing cost. The included consulting services can also be used to set up custom measuring functions in the Utility Program. Future software tools and driver development will support Wireless USB for PCI host cards and motherboards, as well as WiMCA convergence specifications. In addition, OrangeWare is poised to implement UWB drivers for WiNET, W1394, and DLNA protocols. In summary, the WiMedia-MBOA UWB Software Development Tools will facilitate the hardware design effort significantly. In addition, the development driver will be licensed at no charge for use in marketing demonstrations of the hardware developer’s new UWB technology. These products are available now from OrangeWare.
