Intel is flogging their WiDi technology (pronounced like “Wi-Fi”) at CES again this year. This week Intel announce collaborations with settop chip makers Cavium, Mstar, Sigma Designs, Realtek, Wondermedia and others. Intel’s WiDi uses WiFi to transmit HDTV using a special feature of Intel Core CPU-based computers and the company’s WiFi chips. It allows a [...]
Quantenna, an innovator in 4×4 MIMO Wi-Fi, today announced the world’s first 802.11ac solution providing gigabit-speed Wi-Fi using their QAC2300 chipset. Using 4×4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, Quantenna says their chip will enable bandwidth-intensive consumer electronics applications such has home video in wireless routers, access points, and high-end consumer electronics devices. The QAC2300 two-chip solution [...]
IEEE 802.11ac will emerge as the dominant Wi-Fi protocol by 2014, according to ABI Research. Only a niche subset of 802.11ac will be single-band 802.11ac, using solely the five GHz band. Most will be 802.11n/802.11ac dual-band chipsets. ABI Research’s latest report, “Wi-Fi Chipset Evolution: From 802.11n to 802.11ac and 802.11ad,” covers the Wi-Fi chipset market’s [...]
Quantenna announced this week a family of carrier-grade 4×4 MIMO Wi-Fi home-networking chipsets that deliver up to four simultaneous spatial streams. The company’s QHS7xx family of 11n chipsets is said to deliver up to 600 Mbps of bandwidth in a cost-optimized fourth-generation solution. They are targeting carrier services such as IPTV delivery and will be [...]
A network more powerful than the Internet, while perhaps inconceivable right now, is just one of many potentially life-changing applications for wireless sensor networks (WSN) highlighted in a special update issue about Sensor Networks and Applications in Proceedings of the IEEE. A new tier of the Internet is emerging. IPv6 in Low-Power Wireless Networks will [...]
The DASH7 Alliance, a non-profit industry consortium that promotes the use of the ISO 18000-7 standard for wireless sensor networking, today launched the DASH7 Certified program for device interoperability. “Just as the WiFi Alliance addressed the needs of end users frustrated with the lack of interoperability across IEEE 802.11 devices, the DASH7 Alliance is doing [...]
