Ozmo Devices shipped 1 million+ WiFi semiconductor chips

Wireless semiconductor chipmaker Ozmo Devices has said it has shipped its 1 millionth OZMO2000 IC. Ozmo says the OZMO2000 has demonstrated its applicability for wireless audio when Intel selected it to power the Intel Wireless Music adaptor for Intel WiDi-enabled laptops.

The OZMO2000 is compatible with Windows 7 SoftAP as well as Intel's My Wi-Fi Technology. Furthermore, the OZMO2000 is designed to be compatible with the Wi-Fi Direct standard from the Wi-Fi Alliance.

"Wi-Fi peripherals is an emerging category of computing products that has high growth potential due to a couple of attractive value propositions: reduced cost and low power consumption by leveraging the Wi-Fi radio already built into host platforms," said Mark Hung, Research Director Wireless, Gartner. "Mainstay peripherals like mice and audio products are trailblazing this Wi-Fi category."

"Ozmo is addressing a very large market opportunity currently served by Bluetooth and proprietary 2.4GHz technologies," said Bill McLean, Chief Executive Officer, Ozmo Devices. "Shipping one million units so soon after introducing the OZMO2000 demonstrates rapid market adoption and is a strong validation of Ozmo's compelling value proposition. We are determined to further expand our market leadership in the low-power Wi-Fi market."
