Intel expands its Wi-Fi chip technology


News Room

Intel has announced plans to unveil technology that provides always-on wireless network connectivity for mobile devices by automatically switching between radio networks.

Most devices today use a customized radio to connect to a specific network, such as a wireless local area network or a wide area network "What we want to accomplish is the ability to connect to any network, any time, anywhere. The user will not have to worry if he is on a Wi-Fi network or a cellphone network," said Krishnamurthy Soumyanath, director of the Communications Lab at Intel's Corporate Technology Group.

Intel is set to present a chip at the VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) Symposium today in Kyoto, Japan that features both a 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio running on only 1.4 volts. The chip supports up to 40MHz of bandwidth.

The higher frequency will support data rates beyond 100Mbps, enough to deliver streaming video over a wireless connection. Today's Wi-Fi technology offers only 54Mbps, but Intel expects the forthcoming 802.11n standard to raise supported bandwidth.
