01. detsember 2003. Intel jätkab domineerimist WiFi arvutiprotsessorite turul. Centrino edu innustab looma uut protsessorit, mis muudab iga arvuti WiFi baasjaamaks. Grantsdale on uue protsessori koodnimeks. Seda protsessorit sisaldavad arvutid suhtlevad iseseisvalt läbi eetri, vajamata juhtmeid. Tulevase büroo & auditooriumi arvutivõrgu loomiseks tuleb arvutid lahti pakkida, laudadele asetada ja administraator suudab võrgu luua. Arvuteid saab liigutada, ühendus ei katke. Internetiühenduse jagamine muutub lihtsamaks. WiFi saatjate tootjatele on käesolev uudis üpris mõru. Koduste saatjate turg kipub kaotsi minema. Allikas The Wired
Intel's new Grantsdale chipset, to be released in the first half of next year, will eliminate the need for a separate wireless access point. Thanks to the Grantsdale chipset, Pentium IV desktop computers will be able to act as WiFi hubs. Today, Access Points and Wireless Routers (APs with multiple Ethernet ports), cost $50 to $150 and connect to a computer. Next year a desktop computer may double as a WiFi hub, simplifying the networking process. Incorporated into the computer, the Grantsdale chipset will not include an actual Wi-Fi radio - users will need to buy a wireless add-on card. One disadvantage - desktop computers would have to be kept on 24-hours a day.
