LONDON, and SAN DIEGO -- Staccato Communications, an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology pioneer and leader in WiMedia-based Certified Wireless USB solutions, today announced that it has launched its first European operation. Staccato (Europe) Ltd., located in London, will initially focus on the support of UWB standards and regulatory efforts throughout Europe in conjunction with Ecma International (European Computer Manufacturers Association), ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute), ITU (International Telecommunications Union) and the United Kingdom´s OFCOM (Office of Communications), among others. The company recently became an ETSI member and is working closely with Ecma and other standards bodies as part of the WiMedia Alliance. Staccato will conduct a demonstration of its Certified Wireless USB single-chip, all CMOS solution at the Ecma meeting today in Nice, France.

"Regulatory and standardization work on Ultra-Wideband in Europe have intensified in recent months. Establishing Staccato´s presence in Europe is the first step in our long-term strategy to support the European UWB market as it matures. We´re committed to ensuring that European UWB policy enables commercialization of the technology as soon as possible while providing protection for incumbent spectrum services," said Rick Kornfeld, Chief Executive Officer and President of Staccato Communications.

Staccato´s Ripcord products are single-chip, all-CMOS products fully integrated into complete System-in-Package (SiP) solutions to enable sub-$10 cost per node, small form factor, low and efficient power consumption and 480 Mbps Certified Wireless USB connectivity. Staccato SiP products are fully integrated solutions that integrate the radio frequency transceiver, baseband, MAC, processor, memory and I/O functionality. Staccato´s Ripcord products are based on the WiMedia Alliance common radio platform.
