Marvell Unveils Embedded Wireless APs for Home Networks

Marvell introduced a new embedded wireless Access Point (AP) technology for home wireless networks. The key advantage of Marvell's LiveAP is an "on-demand" feature that keeps the AP active regardless of whether the host device is on or off. The technology uses an extremely low-power design that can utilize the "standby" current from the host device to remain fully active even when the device is off. LiveAP also supports the latest wireless security standards, such as WPA, WPA2, and 802.11i AES security extensions. It also supports QoS capabilities as defined in the upcoming IEEE 802.11e standard. http://www.marvell.com
