Embedded wireless connectivity key to new display systems

January 25, 2004

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Three-Five Systems Inc., global provider of electronics manufacturing services and display solutions, has plans to market wireless monitors and display systems.

The wireless monitor products will be the first of their kind targeted at the industrial/medical marketplace and will use patent-pending wireless technology developed by Avocent Corp., a worldwide supplier of keyboard, video and mouse switching; remote access and serial connectivity solutions, according to a news release.

TFS will embed the wireless capability directly into the monitor itself. This configuration allows customers to easily replace existing monitors or displays without adding wireless equipment.

The new wireless monitors and displays will utilize industry standard 802.11a protocols and will interface with any remote computer up to 100 feet away with connections provided through Advanced Encryption Standard, a standard for secure transmission of audio and streaming video data, the release said.

This wireless technology will also feature video compression and protocol technology that supports the transmission of 24-bit color up to 30 frames per second. TFS will target retail and kiosk, industrial process control/automation, medical, signage and financial applications with this technology.
