Texas Instruments Incorporated introduced a new WLAN processor designed to enable true embedded Wi-Fi applications without compromising battery-life, or requiring extra batteries, bulky enclosures, or continuous reliance on a power cord. The new processor is designed to provide highly power efficient 802.11b connectivity with up to a 10-fold reduction in standby mode power consumption than competitive 802.11b chipsets for laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones and other portable devices.
TI’s TNETW1100B is an integrated, single-chip 802.11b Medium Access Controller (MAC) and baseband processor (BBP) designed specifically to meet the low power and tight space requirements of the emerging embedded and portable WLAN market, while also improving power savings for traditional NIC and PC card applications.
