EtherWave is a software package for a USB-to-IEEE 802.11ad 60GHz module enabling wireless connectivity for mobile devices. This solution provides cross platform support, enabling the modules to be used with host devices running Android, Windows and Linux for low power, mobile applications.
EtherWave provides support for the standardized Communication Device Class (“CDC”) Network Control Module (“NCM”) interface which is natively supported on most personal computing platforms. CDC NCM provides for a more efficient method for transporting Ethernet data over USB compared to previously established protocols, such as CDC ECM and EEM. CDC NCM will allow Peraso’s wireless adapter USB 3.0 connection to communicate with the host device without installation of device specific drivers and to expand the range of devices which can utilize 60 GHz wireless for multi-gigabit connectivity. The Company anticipates that its customers will use the EtherWave software package for applications such as AR/VR and tactical communications, among others.
EtherWave is in pre-release testing with customers now, and Peraso expects to have general availability supporting Android by the end of Q2 2024.
