Firmad Broadcom ja Philips Semiconductors tÔid tÀna turule vÀikse ja energiasÀÀstliku WiFi protsessori, mis sobib kasutamiseks mobiiltelefonides ja paljudes kodustes elektriseadmetes. WiFi muudab kodused seadmed osaks Internetist ja saab vÔimalikuks neid eemalt juhtida Odavam telefonikÔne WiFi levialas, pakub aga lÀhitulevikus alternatiivi kallile GSM kÔnele. Valmimas on mobiil mis laseb tarbijal valida, kas rÀÀkida lÀbi GSM kÔnesidekanali vÔi lÀbi Interneti. Uudise lÀhtetekst. Broadcom has grabbed the brass ring by producing an incredibly energy-efficient 802.11b module that's barely larger than a dime. With a single chip that combines the power amplifier, radio, baseband, and MAC mounted on a tiny bit of epoxy circuit board, Broadcom offers manufacturers a way to include 802.11b support in the smallest, most battery-limited devices. Broadcom's new system means that cell phones, MP3s players, handhelds, cameras, and other devices could offer integral 802.11b without draining batteries or filling external slots. Broadcom has some impressive slides on power usage, noting that their standby power mode is 97 percent more miserly than the Centrino chipset. 1.
