Taipei, Taiwan, 14 August, 2012 - WonderMedia Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator of energy-efficient, feature-rich system-on-chip platforms, today announced that the WonderMedia PRIZM WM8950 SoC platform will support the upcoming Wi-Fi CERTIFIED MiracastTM standard, Miracast, from the Wi-Fi Alliance®.
