Communications, General Broadcom uses Wi-Fi Direct to link wearable electronics to the cloud

2013/08/30

Broadcom says companies developing wearable electronic systems will find it easier to link to the cloud via smart mobile devices with the integration of a device-to-device Wi-Fi interface into its WICED embedded wireless platform.

The company has integrated the Wi-Fi Direct point-to-point interface into its WICED platform. This allows a consumer to directly connect two Wi-Fi devices together without the need for an access point or computer.

Broadcom said its WICED platform is being used in blood pressure monitors, glucometers, smart watches and fitness monitors.

It believes support for Wi-Fi Direct, which does not need a Wi-Fi access point or computer, will bee used in the development of smart clothing and other wearable sensors.

For example, Bluetooth Smart and Wi-Fi links allows for data to be collected from wearable devices and transferred to a smartphone or into the cloud in low power systems.

“OEMs creating wearable products require interoperable technology that will allow these new devices to connect with smartphones and tablets available today,” said Joshua Flood, Senior Analyst, ABI Research.

For Bluetooth Smart this already exists and the GATT, Generic Attribute Profile, simplies the development of applications allowing them to run easily on different platfiorms such as iOS, Android and Windows 8.

Wi-Fi is now following a similar route.
