Keyssa launches its ‘Kiss Connector’ at CES

LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2016

Keyssa Inc has launched its Kiss Connector, a contactless, solid state and nearly instantaneous method to move and stream massive files between devices and within devices, at the ongoing Consumer Electornics Show (CES) 2016.
 
Kiss Connectors are tiny, low-cost, low-power, solid-state, embeddable electromagnetic connectors that securely move huge-bandwidth files between computing devices, said a statement.
 
With Kiss Connectivity, Keyssa is unleashing a new era that will change the way devices communicate and free engineers to design devices in entirely new ways. 
 
The connectors are available as a reference design for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) partners, it said.
 
Eric Almgren, chief executive officer, said: “Unlike almost every other aspect of mobile and computer hardware design, connectivity has remained constant for decades.
 
“With Kiss Connectors tucked safely inside the skin of a device, product designers are now free to design products that communicate contactlessly and customers are freed up from the frustrations of traditional wireless communications.”
 
Wendell Brooks, president of Intel Capital, which is an investor in Keyssa, said: "Keyssa’s vision of a world without mechanical connectors aligns with Intel’s vision of a no-wires workspace.
 
“This launch is an exciting step toward improving the experience for users of a wide range of devices."
 
The Kiss Connectors include design-friendly form factor; secure, point-to-point connection at extremely high frequency (EHF); protocol-agnostic, high-speed data transfer supporting USB-SS, DisplayPort HBR2 and SATA II speeds; bi-directional; supports low speed applications allowing for the aggregation of multiple mechanical connectors into a single bi-directional connection.
 
“Keyssa has received strong interest from designers of portable devices, such as mobile phones, storage accessories, mobile PCs and tablets, who are clearly looking to make sleeker, thinner devices,” said Almgren. 
 
“But we’ve also seen tremendous interest from those building industrial, automotive, security, and aerospace solutions, reminding us that contactless connectivity solves many design challenges,” he said.
 
The other key characteristics for Kiss Connectivity include extremely low lower power consumption; no software drivers required, which simplifies the user experience; low latency, which optimizes the user experience; and attractive cost which does not penalize the OEMs for providing superior speed, security, durability and industrial design. - TradeArabia News Service
