Artimi Ltd., a fabless start-up developing ultrawideband (UWB) silicon solutions, today claimed to have demonstrated its UWB wireless technology to select customers and investors.

"The demonstration is unique in the industry to date, in that it shows integrated multi-media and data transmission via our complete end-to-end system solution in a noisy 'real-world' environment, from standard NDIS driver on one PC to a standard NDIS driver on another," Mark Moore, Artimi's CTO, said in a statement.

The Artimi system solution includes PC driver software, peripheral interfaces, MAC processing, PHY, analog front-end, and the company's patent-pending antenna design.

"Though the demonstration system is currently limited by the FPGAs, production systems will transfer data in excess of 500Mbits/sec., and potentially at Gigabit speeds," Moore added. "Real world data-rates in excess of 480Mbits/sec. are essential to deliver the USB 2.0 cable replacement products that many of our customers and partners desire for their next generation wireless devices."

Artimi also announced that it has taken delivery of first silicon from the foundry and said it plans to ship sample silicon in 2004. Production silicon is on target for release in the first quarter of 2005.
