Welcome to the core of Atheros’
technology and expertise. This is where it all
began and it continues with the highest performance WLAN
you can find.
What has set Atheros’ WLAN apart from the others?
Atheros’ wireless technologies
offer clear performance and cost advantages in
easy-to-build, complete solutions which enable our
customers’ quick time to market with a better product.
Performance Innovation
Atheros is leading the WLAN
performance innovation curve with our 802.11n XSPAN with
Signal-Sustain Technology which delivers ~50% greater
throughput at range versus conventional 2x2 MIMO
solutions. In fact, we have a history of looking
for the most novel ways of delivering the very best
wireless performance. We invented the first
standards-enhanced WLAN technologies with Super G and
Super AG, the only solutions to deliver 108 Mbps and use
40 MHz channel operation--now standardized with 11n.
Atheros XR (eXtended Range) offers more than 2 times
the range of standard 802.11g and a/g solutions,
leveraging our Extreme Receive Sensitivity.
Market-leading Integration
Atheros’ leadership in wireless
chip and total solution integration is unmatched. We
have the world’s leading experience and expertise in RF
CMOS design that enables extraordinary integration
resulting in highly competitive, low cost solutions.
In our brief history, Atheros has led the industry in
solution integration, having developed X single-chip
wireless designs to date. This means that our solutions
can help vendors make even the highest performance
products accessible to mainstream home, office and Metro
Wi-Fi users.
Just a few of our recent
integration highlights are the industry’s….
-
First dual-band, single-chip client solution
-
Most integrated single-chip AP
-
First single-chip PCIe and mini PCI solutions
-
Only triple-radio, single-chip solution for MIMO/11n
Wireless Network Processor (WNPU) Leadership
To help our customers maximize the
performance of 802.11n products, Atheros has
custom-designed the industry’s only wireless network
processors. They offer a range of powerful
processing power, Gigabit and Fast Ethernet support and
multiple interfaces for the expanding multimedia, data
networking and peripheral applications of 802.11n.
This means that Atheros-based 11n products overcome the
processing bottlenecks encountered by competitive
routers and access points.
Enhanced Features
In addition to providing superior
throughput and range, Atheros WLAN solutions for the
home and office offer ease of use and interoperability
with other networking solutions.
JumpStart for Wireless ™ enables
the user to setup an Atheros-based network with the
press of a button. And, it will interoperate with
any wireless device that is certified for Wi-Fi
Protected Setup ™. This enhancement makes it easy to
add a wide of array of devices to your
JumpStart-established personal wireless network such as
cellular and VoIP phones, digital cameras, MP3s, digital
media players, gaming devices and set-top boxes.
To enable seamless operation with
the state-of-the-art Vista™ computing platform,
Microsoft has selected Atheros’ WLAN solutions for the
home and office. The benefit is a reliable and richer
user media experience.
