Broadcom to Intensi-fi 802.11n market

[BGonaSTICK]

Broadcom Corporation [NASDAQ: BRCM] has announced the world's first full-featured, single-chip 802.11n solution.

The newest member of the Broadcom Intensi-fi product family is the smallest and most cost-effective 802.11n solution on the market and is the first to enable Wi-Fi products to achieve over 200 Megabits per second (Mbps) of actual wireless throughput.

By combining unprecedented wireless capacity with new features to improve range, Broadcom's new Intensi-fi chip enables wireless networks to deliver on the promise of 802.11n - the ability to support several simultaneous multimedia applications including high-definition (HD) video streaming.

The BCM4322 is the only 802.11n solution combining all of the elements of a wireless LAN (WLAN) subsystem onto a single silicon die. This high level of integration can reduce manufacturing costs by up to 40 percent, which will drive down the price of 802.11n products and increase adoption in traditional wireless devices such as routers, DSL gateways, printers and notebook computers.

In addition, the chip's small footprint enables manufacturers to add 802.11n to consumer electronics products that have never included WLAN functionality before, such as televisions, set-top boxes and camcorders - Irvine, California & Beijing, China
