Qualcomm MEMS Technology (QMT) was showcasing a funky-looking device at the SID show currently being held in Los Angeles. The funky-looking device, called SHOW, as it turns out is part of a wireless and mobile security monitoring solution that uses QMT’s mirasol display and Korea’s KT Freetel (KTF) cellular carrier that also happens to use WCDMA, a data transmission standard over cellular connections developed by Qualcomm. QMT’s mirasol display sips power so it can last a long time. And because of its reflective design, a mirasol display can be viewed in direct sunlight and in very dark ambient environments as well.
At first, I couldn’t wrap my head around it, but think of it this way: the picture above is a WCDMA-connected wireless security camera. You access the camera via a WCDMA-capable mobile phone. Combine the two and voila! you get mobile security. So why is this a big deal?
KTF is a cellular operator in South Korea and they want to give the mobile phone-toting populous a way to keep an eye on their kids and aging parents. On the front of the brochure that QMT gave me is a grandmother in a wheelchair and with this mobile security solution, you can keep an eye on how she is doing. Some possible applications are:
So imagine having one of these things installed at a daycare. You’re wondering how Jr. is doing so you take out your mobile phone, connect to it, and have a look. Pretty cool, I might say. Below is a picture of an example of what you might be able to see:
The following is a description of the functions of the SHOW:
