Intel Research Merges Centrino with 802.11n

By

Intel Corp. will present a paper Friday that will demonstrate its progress toward integrating the current Wi-Fi technologies with the next-generation 802.11n protocol. It is interesting to hear that Intel can integrate 802.11n into their current Alviso chipsets. Good news for consumers and Intel with this news!

At the 2005 VLSI Symposium on Circuits in Kyoto, Japan, Intel executives will present two papers, one on integrating a 2.4/5GHz wireless LAN and a second on a 90-nanometer filter chain. Intel speakers will show off photographs of a prototype chip.

While the papers don’t describe a landmark breakthrough, they do provide proof that Intel can take an incremental next step and integrate the 802.11n component into its existing Centrino chip set, according to Manny Vara, a technology strategist with Intel.
