Use
Ambient's technology to embed realtime, web-customizable
weather forecasts and self-setting local time
in your product line.
Proven
Reliability:
The AMB-4001-W1
datacast decoder chip allows companies to embed
web-configurable weather forecasts and self-setting
local time into their products. This chip is
the content engine behind the Ambient Devices
revolutionary instant access display products. It makes realtime Internet
weather forecasts (or other Internet-based dynamic
content) available through a simple query language
communicating over a 2-wire serial port.
Unparalleled
Flexibility:
Each AMB-4001-W1
chip is programmed with a unique serial number
recognized by the Ambient Network. This allows
customers to monitor weather forecasts for ANY
zipcode or major city in the world, plus environmental
conditions like pollen count, air quality, weather
alerts, and more.
Streamlined
Developer Tools:
To help developers quickly prototype datacasting
products, the DATA-W1
reference implementation includes the AMB-4001-W1
chipset, along with the data radio, voltage
booster, and other support components to allow
operation from a single AAA battery for up to
4 months.
The AMB-4001-W1
Ambient Weather Datacast chipset receives
the following information:
* Local time and date with
Atomic Clock accuracy
* Current and 5-day forecast conditions and
HI/LO temperature and conditions for five major
cities where the module is physically located.
* Current and 5-day forecast conditions and
HI/LO temperature and conditions for a ANY city

Developer
Training Workshops
Ambient Devices offers intensive one and two-day workshop
to jump start those companies who are planning an Ambient-powered
product line. These workshops cover:
* Introductory engineering sessions on interfacing with
the DATA-W1
datacast module
* Advanced engineering sessions on directly embedding
the AMB-4001-W1
datacast chipset.
* Design session on datacasting with the Ambient Information
Network.
These sessions are led by a senior member of the Ambient
development staff and can be customized as necessary for
specific client requirements. For more information and
pricing, please email licensing@ambientdevices.com
