DEMOmobile announced World's First Magnetic Communications Wireless Headset
Aura Communications, Inc. today announced the world's first universal wireless headset based on magnetic communications technology at DEMOmobile 2003.
Using Aura Communications' LibertyLink® technology, the foneGEAR Cord Free headset uses an enhanced form of near field' magnetic communication rather than conventional radio frequency technology to become the lowest power, most affordable wireless headset on the market today. Compatible with existing mobile and cordless phones, and even PCs, foneGEAR's Cord Free creates a secure communication bubble that surrounds and is uniquely owned by each user for reliable and private communications.
What is Magnetic Communications?
While the concepts behind magnetic induction communication have been around for decades, Aura is the first company to develop and implement practical solutions capturing the unique benefits of this technology. Conventional radio frequency (RF) wireless communication systems are optimal for sending large amounts of information and communicating over long distances. However, this consumes power, creates security issues through its widespread broadcasting of information and results in interference and crowding among devices. A good example is in the 2.4 GHz band where simultaneous operation of a portable phone, WiFi network and Bluetooth headset is frequently not possible without severe degradation of Quality of Service.
