TigerJet Implements 802.11b in Native / Host based Architecture

TigerJet announced an 802.11b solution that is implemented using the native / host based architecture for the MAC and base-band functions. The native / host based architecture leverages the host CPU and memory rather than requiring an embedded CPU like most that is dedicated to the 802.11b function. The company said its solution cuts the number of gates required by more than half and eliminates the CPU duplication. Both the 802.11b MAC and base-band have been implemented using less than 40K gates for each function. A CardBus form factor demonstration unit can be evaluated on a PC running Windows.
