Wireless and GPS modules join online distribution

Symmetry Electronics has signed an agreement to add Wi2Wi, a leading provider of wireless module and GPS solutions, to its growing list of suppliers. Under the terms of the agreement, Symmetry Electronics is authorised to promote and sell Wi2Wi's complete line of wireless networking products, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, GPS receivers and multifunction products throughout North and South America as well as on its award-winning e-commerce website SemiconductorStore. 'Our partnership with Wi2Wi allows Symmetry and SemiconductorStore to expand its commitment to providing customers with a broad range of wireless solutions', said Fred Scott, VP of Marketing for Symmetry Electronics.

Based on customers' burgeoning appetite for connecting mobile devices to multiple wireless networks, Wi2Wi is actively developing product IP - designing hardware and software solutions that can easily be integrated into consumer devices.

Wi2Wi provides a complete, cost-effective system in package (SiP) wireless system solution for PAN, WAN and LAN by combining discreet parts and adding advanced software features.

Wi2Wi's new SIP product solutions allow developers to take advantage of complete radio system solutions in much smaller form factors and make costs lower than traditional module designs.

'Market demand is rapidly increasing for devices with multi-network connectivity'.

'Both OEM and ODM developers require easy to integrate, small, low power multimode wireless solutions that provide state of the art functionality', said Ramzi Al-Harayeri, founder and CEO of Wi2Wi.

'We are very excited about our relationship with Symmetry'.

'This partnership enables us to deliver our class leading SiP Technology solutions to a broad range of markets and developers'.

Using proven IC packaging technologies, Wi2Wi has developed complete radio and combo-radio solutions in scales typically reserved for ICs only.

In addition to being the leader of wireless PAN, WAN and LAN solutions, Wi2Wi recently partnered with SiRF to deliver the industry's smallest SiRFstarIII based GPS module, which is half the sise of competing solutions.
