FluCard is a wireless SD card used primarily with digital cameras. The Flucard is manufactured by Trek 2000 International, which is the Singaporean company that is one of the purported inventors of the ThumbDrive technology. [1]
The FluCard is designed to work with any device that has an SD host slot. Once it is plugged in, the device will gain Wi-Fi capabilities and be able to send files to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices wirelessly. Additionally, users can wirelessly upload files from the host device to the Flucard Portal or any other server of their choice. [2]
In 2005, Henn Tan, CEO and chairperson of Trek 2000 International directed the company's research and development team to create an SD card that could wirelessly transmit files, after his daughter misplaced her camera during an overseas trip, losing her pictures of the journey in the process.
