The EthIR LAN family brings PDA, cell phone and handheld users the immediate benefits of content exchange
and dedicated high speed network access using popular software applications such as AvantGo, web clip-
pings, Eudora web browsing, E*Trade stock transaction, email access, etc.
Installation of the EthIR LAN into a 10/100 Base-T or 802.11b backbone for network access is seamless due to its
internal DHCP functionality. Once the EthIR LAN is installed, network access is immediately available through
IR via TCP/IP/PPP, which is native to the handheld device. A classic example of an application where the
benefits of the EthIR LAN(TM) high-speed infrared LAN access system can be fully appreciated is in a hospital,
classroom, library, activity center and factories. In this environment the challenge is to provide network access
to a very large number of users with a relatively small capital investment.
In addition to network access, the OBEX functionality provides content exchang to virtually any OBEX
enabled device such as the NTT Docomo cell phone, Palm OS, Pocket PC 2002+ and Windows XP.
Information kiosks can take advantage of the EthIR LAN's OBEX functionality to perform a content exchange
between the kiosk and the handheld device. Vertical markets such as healthcare, enterprise, education,
and hospitality can leverage this simple solution for application and content distribution.
The EthIR Switch with its EthIR Beam infrared network access and content exchange points provides a finite
number of network access points that can be shared by an infinite number of users. This provides an extreme-
ly cost effective and secure solution compared to RF LAN cards since network connectivity is achieved via
the infrared communications port that is a standard feature of virtually every cell phone, ruggedized PDA and
handheld device today.

Multiport Unit
Single Port Unit
Free yourself from the constraints of dedicated cradles and docking stations, serial cables, LAN cards, and partner PCs.
Hook up without the hang-ups. Why sync the old way when you can point and connect to the network with speeds up to
4Mbps independent of your devices hardware platform and operating system. Everything you need to connect with the
EthIR LAN (Infrared port and software) is already contained in your handheld device.
Applications:
Wherever cell phones, laptops, handheld PCs, and PDAs need network access and content exchange:

*Provides a second 10/100Mb port to PC.

With on-board flash memory to store a large amount of data, the ESB1000
enables this product to work in either a networked mode or in a stand-alone
mode making it the ideal product for billboards, trade shows and web pay-
phone applications to beam discount coupons, promotional material and
collateral to any OBEX enabled device at pre-defined intervals periodically or
on-demand.
Content is programmed into the ESB1000 using the easy to use software utility
provided with the ESB1000. The software utility also enables users to define the
beaming intervals and count the number of successful broadcasts.
An additional feature of the versatile ESB1000 is the Y-cable providing a "push
button" for those applications where customers prefer "on demand" beaming.
The EthIR LAN family uses patent pending technology to capitalize on stan-
dard OBEX and TCP/IP protocols to provide PDA and cell phone users with
faster network access. Available in single port (ESB101, ESB301, and
ESB3011b), 8-port (ESB208), 16-port (ESB216) and 4-port (ES608) configurations,
these products offer complete choice to accommodate every market seg-
ment. While offering standard TCP/IP/PPP network access through Ethernet,
the ESB3011b uses a built-in 802.11b uplink rather than the Ethernet allowing
the ESB3011b to be deployed in an 802.11b RF wireless environment.
The core of the OBEX functionality is using the TCP/IP protocol to transfer data
between itself and the server on the network, while transferring the data using
the OBEX protocol between itself and the device.
The OBEX SDK and DP, including API documentation and the sample code are available to developers to develop a vari-
ety of applications that can take advantage of the power of the OBEX functionality in the EthIR LAN series. Beaming spe-
cific data via infrared OBEX to target users, therefore, saves unnecessary browsing steps on a handheld device in virtually
every vertical market. For example, in a hospitality environment, customers can receive content on their PDA/cell phone
from a kiosk about local events, coupons and restaurant locations in a particular city.
The EthIR LAN family supports IrNET (A packet based PPP vs byte-by-byte based PPP), a far more efficient way for PPP to
communicate. It eliminates lots of CPU overhead from PPP. Test results show a performance increase of up to 60%, resulting
in improved battery efficiency. IrNET is supported by Windows 2000 and later, Linux, Motorola and Clarinet Systems.
