New SD Standard Transforms Consumer Electronics into Wireless LAN Devices

  • The SD Association released the Wireless LAN SD standard at CES, which adds Wi-Fi accessibility to the standardized storage format.
  • The new memory cards allow consumers to wirelessly download, upload and share photos or videos in addition to using the Wireless LAN SD memory cards as control points for other devices.
  • Consumers will be able to transfer content from cameras to cloud services and between SD devices over home networks.
  • “As cloud servers and wireless technologies continue to penetrate the consumer experience, wireless accessibility will become increasingly more important,” said Michael Yang, senior principal analyst, IHS iSuppli. “The addition of wireless capability to the existing SD memory card standard, will enable SD memory cards to remain relevant to shifting market demand, and add value to consumers and manufacturers of new cameras, tablets, and mobile phones.”
