Intel builds all-in-one wireless radio package
Tom Krazit (IDG News Service) writes in NetworkWorld:
Researchers at Intel have figured out how to integrate all the elements needed to connect to wireless LANs into a compact package, the company is expected to announce Friday at The VLSI Symposium in Japan.
Many companies have already built Wi-Fi chips that support the 802.11a/b/g standards, but those products require several other chips built onto the motherboard in order to connect to wireless networks.
Intel has now integrated components such as power amplifiers onto a single piece of silicon. It has also built connections from the amplifiers to external radio antennas on a single transceiver package, connections that used to be made with multiple pieces of silicon located outside the package, said Howard High, an Intel spokesman. A transceiver is a chip that can transmit and receive signals.
