 Flash memory card with Wi-Fi
By integrating the Wi-Fi function into a flash memory card in a standard SD form factor, the Eye-Fi Card brings wireless connectivity to the digital camera and also operates as a conventional SD memory card. The Wi-Fi memory card connectivity provides an ultra-convenient way for camera users to send photographs directly to home computers and online photo or social networking sites for instant sharing or printing.

“It is a great pleasure to work with the world class innovators at Eye-Fi. It has been a real challenge to integrate the wireless function into an SD card, where traditionally its compact form factor has offered only enough space to support a flash controller chip and flash memory. Together, we have resolved the obstacles, achieved a robust but standard mechanical design, and delivered superior wireless performance,” said K.C. Chen, CTO at Wintec Industries, Inc.
