Amended from Wi-Fi Planet:
Last week, ultrawideband (UWB) solutions provider Wisair announced the release of its second generation WiMedia-MBOA-based chip, the 502,
saying that this release makes Wisair the first UWB provider to embark
on pre-production. The 502 chip is now available for shipment to
customers.
Wisair's first MBOA-compliant silicon, the 501 chip, was released just
over a year ago and shipped to over 35 industry customers. The 502 chip
improves upon both the power consumption and the size of the 501. It
was developed using IBM's 0.18um SiGe (Silicon Germanium) BiCMOS
technology, which Serdar Yurdakul, Wisair's director of Business
Development and Marketing, says gives the chip an advantage in terms of
both power consumption and performance. |
