Can Cypress Bite Into Bluetooth Market?
It seems that not only do Bluetooth proponents need to worry about UWB, but they also need to look at WirelessUSB. Cypress Semiconductor is introducing a new chip with WirelessUSB, which they is simpler and costs less than Bluetooth. Most importantly, it has less latency that Bluetooth, making it more useful for gaming applications. It doesn't have all the features of Bluetooth, but certainly could take away some of its market.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
