Toshiba
Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) announced it will launch the industry's
first1 microUSB adaptor module compliant with the
TransferJet™ close proximity wireless transfer technology standard. Mass
production of this microUSB adaptor module, TJM35420MU, is scheduled to
begin in March 2013 for sales to smartphone and tablet manufacturers and
to PC peripheral equipment manufacturers.

The TJM35420MU is the industry's first TransferJet™ microUSB adaptor
module integrating a TransferJet™ transceiver IC, a coupler, an RF
filter, peripheral passive parts, and a USB connection circuit.
TransferJet™ communications can be implemented in Android™ devices2,
such as smartphones and tablets, that have a microUSB port by inserting
this module in the port and installing application software for Android™.
TransferJet™-enabled devices can transfer a one-minute high-definition
movie in approximately three seconds3. TransferJet™ is
expected to be widely adopted for smartphones, tablets, and various
other devices. Toshiba will continue to develop and commercialize
transceiver ICs and modules compliant with TransferJet™.
Toshiba will showcase, for reference, a tablet equipped with a prototype
of this microUSB adaptor module, and a TransferJet™-enabled SDHC memory
card, which is under development, at the 2013 International CES, the
world's biggest consumer technology-related trade show, to be held from
January 8 to 11, 2013, in Las Vegas, U.S.A.
Notes: 1. As of January 8, 2013. Survey by Toshiba 2. Certain
Android devices may not support TransferJet™. 3. For calculation,
the capacity of a one-minute high-definition movie is assumed to be 128
MB.
Background and objectives
Demand is surging for simple yet high-speed sharing of large multimedia
files, such as photos, movies, and audio data among individuals. In view
of this demand, Toshiba has commercialize products, including a
transceiver IC, a compact wireless module, a microSDIO card, and a USB
adaptor module, that are compliant with the TransferJet™ standard for
close proximity wireless transfer technology allowing data transfer just
by touching two devices together. The latest addition to the line-up is
a microUSB adaptor module that can be easily attached to smartphones and
other mobile devices.
About TransferJet™
TransferJet™ is a close proximity wireless transfer technology standard
promoted by the TransferJet™ Consortium whose membership consists of 45
companies (as of January 8, 2013), including Toshiba. TransferJet™
technology provides simple connection and high-speed data transfer with
low power consumption just by selecting on the screen of a device the
data file to be transferred and by touching the receiving device with
that device. Applications of TransferJet™ technology is expected to
expand when combined with various devices and technologies, such as
digital signage and Near Field Communications (NFC).
