LibertyLink is a magnetic wireless data transfer system developed by Aura Communications. The system is based on electromagnetic induction.
The system consists of two chips, each connected to a coil. The transmitter coil creates a low-power “quasi-static” electromagnetic field with a near-zero electric field component. This means that any field fluctuations will not travel very far. This allows for delivery of full duplex voice and data within the personal-area network range, up to 10 feet (3 m).
The transceivers provide 410 kbit/s data rates using time-division-duplexing of a Gaussian Minimum Shift Keyed (GMSK) modulated magnetic field at 13.56 MHz. Each pair of transmitter and receiver iuses a unique 16-bit code for a "secure bubble of communication" between the chips.
The main competition for this technology is Bluetooth.
LibertyLink may refer to:
- LibertyLink gene used in plants to give resistance to the herbicide glufosinate.
- LibertyLink (wireless), a magnetic wireless data transfer system.
LibertyLink is a Bayer owned brand of genes for use in agriculture providing tolerance to Liberty herbicide and glufosinate (a.k.a. Liberty or Basta). The genes were developed by Bayer CropScience. LibertyLink is the only GMO herbicide tolerant gene other than Roundup Ready on the market. Also, LibertyLink provides an herbicide resistance system that is still effective in the presence of glyphosate resistant weeds. The gene which gives resistance to glufosinate is a bar or pat gene which was first isolated from two species of Streptomyces bacteria. Glufosinate was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency and approved by the European Parliament on January 13, 2009.
