SPARK’s UWB technology will provide ultra-low latency and low power, with real-time data streaming
Montreal, Canada, and Stockholm, Sweden, April 11, 2023 – SPARK 微系统, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB), today announced that Swedish watch innovator Platonum has chosen SPARK’s UWB technology to provide ultra-low latency and low power, real-time data streaming for Platonum’s first series of Deep Augment™ watches. Platonum is the world’s first timepiece built with this unique technology and materials that handle all computation outside of the device, achieving near-limitless speeds and computing power for customizable content streamed directly to the watch.
“Platonum’s new Deep Augment™ watch represents a true revolution in consumer lifestyles and is creating a new market segment of cutting-edge watches,” said Julie Delamarre, SPARK Microsystems, Vice President of EMEA Sales. “ The Platonum watch is based on unique engineering, making it a visionary product enabled by the short-range data streaming capabilities of SPARK’s UWB technology.
The ultra-low power SPARK UWB wireless transceiver enables a new class of short-range wireless connectivity applications, exemplified by Platonum. The SPARK UWB wireless transceiver achieves an order of magnitude greater energy efficiency, latency and ranging than Bluetooth Low Energy or ZigBee at faster data rates, supporting uninterrupted data streaming as well as accurate ranging and positioning.
Platonum创始人兼首席执行官Thomas Eriksson表示：“SPARK的UWB技术被融入到这款手表的设计中，因为它的功能能够助力我们实现产品愿景。这些功能将使我们的客户能够使用独特且量身定制的产品。”
Platonum breaks customers’ dependence on disposable embedded chipsets by moving computation outside the watch. Leveraging interactive real-time streaming, there’s no need to replace any parts to stay cutting-edge. Processing power upgrades happen on the server making each Platonum infinitely adaptable. There are currently no competitors capable of delivering the same versatility and power. Platonum is a beautiful watch designed, engineered, and assembled by hand in Sweden.
