Envara, a fabless semiconductor company with offices in California and Israel, today announced that it is sampling engineering silicon for its EN303 radio frequency chip that will support the current 802.11b and 802.11a standards, plus have support for 802.11g when it is available, all on a single chip.
"We feel it's the first effective chip to serve all," says Paul Nurflus, Envara's vice president of business development. " We have it working in our lab, the performance is very satisfactory." The EN303 will support 2.4GHz 802.11b with Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation (backwards compatible and based upon the DSSS modulation in most Wi-Fi systems), 5GHz 802.11a with OFDM modulation, and based on the current draft from the IEEE 2.4GHz 802.11g with OFDM modulation. http://www.80211-planet.com/news/article/0,,1481_1381071,00.html
