Technology
When the products that shape our world work better together, life gets simpler. And simplicity takes tenacious engineering. At Qualcomm Atheros, we engineer real-world, market-wise solutions that add value and help drive demand for products. Our ethics are built upon efficient, precise design with a particular focus: create great experiences for the end user, and help our customers products stand out in the marketplace. When everything clicks, the consumer will go there. And with the kind of technology that moves information, markets, and minds, There is Here.
Qualcomm Atheros’ growing portfolio of technologies is driven to address three vectors of connectivity.
Connect
We provide WLAN, Bluetooth, Location and Ethernet solutions to give consumers and businesses access to basic functionality, like Internet browsing, email, and the simple functions, like downloading videos from YouTube, sending photos, streaming music, connecting gaming controllers to consoles and printing wirelessly. Qualcomm Atheros provides a wide array of high-performance, low-power solutions to address these relatively simple needs to connect with solutions for routers, computers, handsets, PNDs and consumer electronics for our customers the world over.
Consume
With the vast and growing array of television and video content now available online and through cable providers, the desire to “consume” has never been greater. It’s not enough to access the latest movies instantly in their homes, they want to stream it to any room in the house…where and when they want to see it. That’s why, our technologies have become more adept at feeding the need to consume….with Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 3.0 + High Speed, HomePlug-based powerline, 802.11n, and next, there’s 60 GHz, and 11ac, location-based GPS, and even PON solutions to get all of this great content to the home…and fast!
Control
With all of this connecting and consuming, there’s also need to control. The ability to now monitor and control common household appliances and functions like heating the pool, closing the blinds, monitoring for security, and tracking power consumption, is now here. The smart home, which conserves and controls electrical and other household activities, is now emerging. And, the home can communicate with the utilities smart grid, to enable power- and cost-savings. Qualcomm Atheros is on the leading edge of the trend to control—with low-power Wi-Fi, powerline, Bluetooth and Ethernet—providing the connection that enables control.
