Ellisys releases new time-saving Instant Beacons and Superframe views to enable real-time debugging of multiple networked WiMedia devices
(via Press Release from Ellisys Website - July 9, 2007) - Geneva, Switzerland - Ellisys, a leading supplier of test solutions for USB, Certified Wireless USB and the WiMedia Platform, today announced new Instant Beacons and Instant Superframe features, the latest in its series of productivity-enhancing Instant™ functions for the company’s WiMedia protocol analyzer.

Beacon frames contain status information that can be examined to determine how various devices are working together. (more…)
