Ready for sampling, the WiND502 multi-mode IEEE 802.11a/b/g and WiND512 IEEE 802.11g are dual-device chipsets that share a common MAC/baseband processor, the EN202. The WiND502 employs the EN303 RF ...
The Wi-Fi Alliance, a nonprofit organization formed in 1999 to certify interoperability of IEEE 802.11 products and to promote them as the global, wireless LAN standard across all market segments, has ...
With wireless LAN (WLAN) popularity continuing to soar, designers must now begin evolving this to the 5-GHz band. Making this leap will not be easy. The IEEE 802.11a system calls for 5-GHz WLAN ...
As 802.11a products began shipping months ago, more and more companies have been taking advantage of 802.11a’s superior performance. 802.11a radios transmit at 5GHz and send data up to 54Mbps using ...
In early 2000, the IEEE 802.11 Task Group G was given the job of developing a higher-speed, backward-compatible physical-layer extension to the highly successful IEEE 802.11b standard. The new ...
It has been widely reported that 802.11n, the wireless LAN IEEE draft standard that uses multiple input/multiple output technology to boost Wi-Fi speeds to over 100Mbps, is “backward compatible” with ...
This paper presents the WiLD (WLAN IP for LSI Designs), a powerful dual-mode IP core and the associated software stack for 802.11a/b Wireless LANs. It starts by a short introduction to WLAN systems to ...
Jim Zyren, director of strategic marketing for wireless networkingat Intersil explains the draft standard and explains how its adoptionis an important step for the introduction of dual band radios.
