Redpine Signals today announced that it has released to the market an ultra low power 802.11abgn solution for battery constrained mobile handsets, consumer electronics devices, digital still cameras and personal navigation devices.
The RS9110 is said to implement a unique & proprietary circuit design to extend the battery life for 802.11n products, longer than rival 802.11b/g products.
“Unlike the conventional implementations which focus on silicon geometry to get lower power, we took system approaches to optimize the total average power,” said Venkat Mattela, Redpine’s Chief Executive Officer. “Lite-Fi(TM) unveils intrinsic advantages of 802.11n for low power over 802.11b/g and we enhance it further with our unique and proprietary patented techniques to optimize the power for the total signal chain,” he added.
Redpine’s RS9110-based SD card reference design is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for 802.11n draft 2.0 by the Wi-Fi Alliance, and was architected from the ground up for ultra low power. It is available in WLCSP and UFLGA packages and is said to enable 300% more data throughput over competing solutions.
Key customers are currently sampling. Mass production is Q1 2008. Pricing is available upon request.
