Logitech Chooses Nordic Semiconductor's 2.4 GHz RF Devices For New Cordless Notebook Mouse
Oslo, Norway -- Nordic Semiconductor ASA today announced that Logitech has selected Nordic's 2.4 GHz RF devices for its next-generation wireless Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse.
PC control devices are a key target for the nRF24XX product line from Nordic. Nordic Semiconductor has now come up with a novel 2.4 GHz platform that features a reduction in power consumption and an increase in range and performance. Logitech is using the nRF2402 and nRF2401 for the new V500 mouse.
"Logitech is a leading player in the PC control device market, and Nordic Semiconductor is pleased to have contributed in the development of the V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse, which is truly an amazing product in looks, performance and feature set," said Geir Langeland, product manager for standard products at Nordic Semiconductor.
"The timely introduction of the Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse could not have happened without our close collaboration with Nordic Semiconductor," said Ashish Arora, Logitech director of marketing for retail pointing devices. "Nordic has has been an exemplary technology partner and a highly responsive supplier. The Nordic team has provided us with cost-effective technology, in high volume, that ensures that the V500 mouse will meet or exceed the performance expectations of our customers."
The Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse is designed for mobile professionals. The ultra-thin mouse features an expandable chassis, a touch-sensitive solid state scrolling panel, and 2.4 GHz wireless technology.
The 2.4 GHz USB-based Micro-Receiver is one of the smallest, most powerful receivers on the market. At 9/16" x 2" x 1/4" in size, the Micro-Receiver uses Logitech's proprietary 2.4 GHz digital cordless technology, which helps the mouse achieve a range of 30 feet. The 2.4 GHz technology virtually eliminates interference with other mice or wireless devices -- especially important when multiple mobile users work in close proximity.
