Jazz Process Chosen: SiGe BiCMOS

Product: Ultra Wideband Wireless USB Transceiver

Description: Alereon's products promise to replace the complex tangle of wiring used to interconnect today's consumer electronics, computer peripheral, and mobile devices with high-bandwidth, low-power, low-cost wireless links.

Target: Alereon develops and deploys complete UWB solutions for personal area networking applications that comply with the emerging MBOA and wireless USB standards.

"SiGe BiCMOS technology is well suited to build cost effective solutions for demanding UWB applications, and Jazz Semiconductor's focus on wireless applications makes them an ideal partner. We're very pleased with Jazz's execution on this project. They've met or exceeded all of the project milestones and we're very happy with their performance."
