Agere and Infineon Develop 802.11a/b/g Chipset

Agere Systems announced a multimode, 802.11a/b/g WLAN chipset that it claims will provide the industry's lowest bill of materials and smallest footprint. The dual-band RF transceiver is coupled with a multimode media access controller (MAC), a multimode baseband processor and a dual-band power amplifier. The chipset was developed in partnership with Infineon Technologies. Each company is independently marketing its next-generation wireless LAN products. Agere and Infineon will offer the industry's first dual-source model, which gives equipment manufacturers greater flexibility to meet accelerating market demand.
