WiFi Mouse from Ozmo!

In a move to compete with established wireless solutions like Bluetooth and IR, Ozmo is working on a low –power, Wi-Fi Personal Area Network solution. One of the first products to use this might be the optical mouse reference kit announced earlier this month.

The reference design kit code-named OZMO-AV35-RD supposedly uses the Ozmo Devices OZMO1000 IC, and Avago’s ADNB-3532 optical mouse sensor.

Dave Timm, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ozmo Devices says “Wi-Fi PAN is rapidly emerging as the technology of choice for peripheral product connectivity. Our Wi-Fi PAN solution leverages the Wi-Fi capability already present in many platforms, eliminating the need for an additional radio or a dongle. Through this collaboration, Ozmo Devices and Avago Technologies make possible the rapid development of Wi-Fi PAN based mouse products. By combining our low-power single chip IC with Avago’s industry leading LED-based and laser-based navigation sensors, mouse manufacturers now have a solution superior to any based on legacy wireless methods.”

The reference kit is currently being demonstrated at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
