ICRON announces partnership with Eleven Engineering for Wireless USB (WUSB)

BURNABY, B.C., March 1, 2005 - Icron Technologies Corporation (TSX Venture: IT), the developers of ExtremeUSB® today announced its first formal partnership to deliver a Wireless USB product based on the Eleven Engineering Inc.’s XInC wireless processor chipset and Icron’s patented ExtremeUSB protocol.

The Icron/Eleven Engineering solution is focused on supporting Low and Full Speed USB 1.1 devices. It is ideally suited to high performance Input/Output devices such as USB based remote controls, multifunction keyboards, and high end game controllers. It is based on the Eleven Engineering’s XInC Multithreaded processor running Icron’s ExtremeUSB protocol integrated with either a 3 or 5 Mbps 2.4Ghz radio.

This is the first partner announcement under the previously announced Icron Wireless USB Program and product roadmap. The development of this low speed offering will offer the best price performance solution to the market. Icron is currently working with an unnamed customer to integrate this Wireless USB 1.1 solution into a finished product for release later this year.

Icron is also actively working on both an 802.11x based and an UWB (Ultra Wide Band) based solution that supports higher speed USB 2.0.

“Icron believes that our unique approach to the market allows for the most customer flexibility while still supporting the USB-IF mandate of ease of use and compatibility”, commented Robert Eisses, VP Sales and Marketing. “Currently, all other programs for Wireless USB in the market today, either do not support the data rates required for most USB applications or are not true USB 1.1 or 2.0 and require significant changes to the ecosystem to implement them.”

The primary benefit of Icron’s Wireless USB solution is its existing USB-IF support, requiring no additional drivers, host controller changes, or user configurations making it a standard USB “plug and play” solution. Each version is focused at various price/performance points that customers have identified as important.

“Eleven has developed proof-of-concept WUSB (pronounced wuzz-bee) solutions based on our novel XInC wireless processor over the last 18 months, but we ran into severe challenges in supporting multiple device types. The partnership with Icron is a natural fit as Icron’s ExtremeUSB technology is very mature and fits perfectly with our XInC hardware platform to create an elegant and powerful WUSB module”, commented John Sobota, CEO of Eleven Engineering.
