Wow the world of
wireless
transmission just keeps getting more interesting every day. Concord Camera is releasing a wireless digital camera that is capable of wireless transmission of images to the internet directly from the camera. The camera utilizes a USB WiFi device that plugs into the camera and transmits using the 802.11b standard. WIT(TM) enables users to transmit a high quality 4 Megapixel image at 1/10th of a second, and video clips at up to 54MB per second. WIT transmits images by e-mail or FTP with the help of a WI-FI access point or Hotspot.
So now you can take pictures of your grandkids at the park and send those images to the internet without ever going home. I have got to see this new technology. It sounds like a wild new application of WiFi . Pretty soon all of our stuff is going to be zooming around in the wireless frequencies. As one who fights the cable mess all the time I am interested in being first on board.
"As Wi-Fi explodes globally, we believe this type of wireless imaging technology has great potential for standalone camera accessories, as well as being integrated into digital cameras," said Jeff Mandell, VP Worldwide Marketing.
Concord released a Bluetooth enabled camera last year, which went on to win awards from various industry sources including Popular Mechanics "Editor's Choice Award" at CES 2003. The Go Wireless camera, which sells for under $200 lets users send their images to, their computers without wires or cables attached.
