Sony to sell Cameras, PCs featuring Fast Wireless Technology

DSC-TX7Sony Corp. on Monday announced plans to launch products that support its proprietary technology for transferring large-volume image data wirelessly at high speeds between digital cameras and personal computers.

Although the TransferJet technology requires the camera and the PC to be no more than 3cm apart, it offers a data transmission speed of up to 560 megabits per second.

The existing Bluetooth and IrSimpleShot wireless data communications technologies work over longer distances of about 10 meters and 2.5 meters, respectively. But their maximum data speeds are far slower at 3mbps and 4mbps .

As a start, Sony plans to launch two Cyber-shot series digital camera models that are compatible with TransferJet. The DSC-TX7 is expected to hit Japanese stores on Feb. 5, while the DSC-HX5V will likely go on sale a month later on March 5. The price for both products is estimated at around 45,000 yen.

Sony also said that it will start selling the Vaio F series notebook personal computers, which support the TransferJet technology, on Saturday. The price will likely start at about 170,000 yen (US$1,874).
