WLAN chipset features in residential
gateway
AboCom Systems is using TI's WLAN products for its universal serial bus adapter and residential gateway (RG) module product lines for the fast growing RG market.
AboCom Systems, a leading embedded WLAN solutions original design manufacturer (ODM), is using TI's WLAN products for its universal serial bus (USB) adapter and residential gateway (RG) module product lines for the fast growing RG market "RG manufacturers need high power WLAN solutions for extended range and throughput that can be easily embedded into their systems", said Dr Wen Tsay, Chief Technical Officer and Wireless Product Line Manager for AboCom

Triple-output power modules shrink ADSL designs
Texas Instruments has unveiled two new triple-output plug-in power solutions for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) applications.
This product will provide RG manufacturers with a high power, extended range WLAN component for their next generation gateways.
"AboCom and TI have a great collaborative relationship and together we continue to deliver differentiated high power WLAN solutions for extended range and throughput", said Dennis Rauschmayer, Director of Marketing for TI's Residential Gateway and Embedded Systems Group.
Earlier this year, TI introduced the latest member of its family of application-specific WLAN solutions for USB, RG and embedded consumer electronics.
The IEEE802.11 a/b/g compatible TNETW1450 media access controller (MAC) and baseband (BB) processor enables manufacturers to add wireless functionality to devices with USB 2.0 interfaces.
This compact system solution provides a significant reduction in board size over TI's previous solutions.
In addition, the 1450 solution meets the highest level of security and quality of service standards, including Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and WHQL, Wi-Fi and USB-IF certification.
In January, TI also introduced the 802.11 a/b/g compatible TNETW1350A MAC and BB processor which provides on chip power conversion and regulation, without external filters, reducing component count and bill of materials (BOM) by 50%.
These solutions easily pair with TI's portfolio of flexible radios which offer a full range of performance options.
For instance, when coupled with the 1350A solution, the TNETW3422/28 extended range, high output power radio offers up to two times the range of existing solutions at a fraction of the cost.
In addition, the latest solutions feature TI's 125Mbit/s equivalent G++ Mode, enabling throughput up to 36Mbit/s.
AboCom's WUG2400 USB adapter is shipping to leading RG manufacturers worldwide.
The WCM510T RG module will be available in July 2005.
