Broadcom's InConcert Technology Balances Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Contention

Broadcom introduced a new technology designed to allow wireless devices to collaboratively co-exist within the same radio frequency. The "InConcert" technology enables products with Broadcom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips to intelligently share the 2.4 GHz frequency range, synchronizing transmissions to maximize throughput and performance for both standards. The software required to enable InConcert Technology resides within Broadcom's BlutoniumBluetooth system firmware and OneDriver unified wireless LAN driver. Broadcom will begin shipping InConcert in its Bluetooth and wireless LAN products starting early next year.
