“11n is cheaper than 11g but can run three times as fast,” claims Bomin Wang, President of TrendChip, which has just launched an ADSL gateway design with 11n. "In a competitive market where the three-network convergence policy has been put in place,
 China's telecom operators are considering 11n as an essential specification in their new tenders to allow users to enjoy the convenience of high bandwidth and IPTV anywhere, anytime.” 11n chipmaker Quantenna has just received another $15M from Swisscom and VCs to develop their 4x4 MIMO chip. The prototypes are delivering 100 megabits over 100 feet in their testing, enough for wireless HD TV connections. Netgear has announced a product based on the chip. DSL folks know Quantenna's founder, Behrooz Rezvani, who previously was at Ikanos. The Lantiq-Metalink 11n chips have a nice demo of 4 HD signals carried across the demo room without any dropouts. Jennie hates wires around our home, a problem these chips hope to solve. |
