Sony has developed a close proximity wireless transfer technology called TransferJet. TransferJet enables transfer of large data files by touching two electronic products together such as mobile phones, digital cameras, digital video cameras, computers and TVs. TransferJet's physical layer transmission rate is 560 Mbps, and even allowing for error corrections and protocol overheads, the effective physical layer transmission rate is 375 Mbps. Users can also register their electronic products to enable TransferJet to recognise specific products. TransferJet can also be used as a universal interface among a variety of consumer electronics devices. Sony will present reference exhibits of the new technology at the CES in Las Vegas. The company plans to introduce products using the transfer technology and actively promote its use across the industry.
