SAN JOSE, CA – February 10, 2022 – Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ:PRSO) (“Peraso”) today announced the immediate availability of its 60 GHz mmWave platform targeted specifically for wireless applications in the Metaverse. The platform combines Peraso’s 60 GHz wireless modules, 802.11ad/ay ICs, advanced phased array antennas and highly extensible Falcon software stack. The combined platform provides the essential elements for wireless Metaverse devices, including multi-gigabit data rates, extremely low latency, and high tolerance to interference. Peraso believes one of the most important additions to the Metaverse platform is support for seamless roam between multiple access points in conjunction with point to multi-point capability.
“The Metaverse experience is improved by an order of magnitude when high performance graphics are rendered remotely and streamed wirelessly to a high-resolution VR/AR headset,” said Ron Glibbery, CEO of Peraso. “While the mmWave beamforming challenges required to solve this problem are significant, Peraso has solved this problem after more than five years of development. We expect our technology to play a meaningful role in the successful rollout of the Metaverse ecosystem.”
With the addition of roaming capability, Peraso’s technology can facilitate an extended, multi-user environment. New applications will be enabled, such as multi-user gaming, complex training environments, collaborative work environments, military training or other environments that require the participation of multiple simultaneous users. As the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic begin to relax, the demand for multi-user environments will be at the forefront of the Metaverse evolution.
