Alereon develops industry-standard Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio technology and sells wireless monitor docking station technology used in products such as the Samsung Central Station and the Samsung Smart Station. The company has added Apple OS support and implemented TCP/IP over UWB as an alternative to wireless USB, enabling new use cases where Wi‑Fi cannot guarantee video performance. Alereon is developing next-generation products including the AL7350, an advanced UWB radio targeting 1 Gbps PHY rates at short range and extended range over earlier chipsets; the AL7350 was in alpha sampling with general sampling planned for mid-2012. Its roadmap targets both consumer/commercial markets and new verticals — industrial, medical, military and gaming — where Quality of Service is critical. The company describes itself as focused on low‑power, high‑speed wireless streaming of real-time video and data to HDTVs, monitors and laptops.
