Global WLAN radio covers all regions and all 802.11 standards

16 July 2003 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Intersil is sampling its new PRISM WorldRadio (WR) with key customers and leading original design manufacturers (ODMs). The newest member of the PRISM WLAN portfolio is a two-chip, dual-band (2,4 and 5 GHz) solution designed to provide global wireless connectivity. PRISM WR is Intersil's second-generation dual-band WLAN solution (the first being the PRISM Duette chipset).

The PRISM WR enables users to establish a WLAN network connection throughout the world with any standards-compliant wireless 802.11 infrastructure they encounter, including existing and proposed standards - 802.11a, b, d, g, h, i or j. It is capable of tuning frequency ranges that cover the entire worldwide wireless LAN spectrum. PRISM WorldRadio self-configures to the appropriate frequency and operating parameters specific to any region. For instance, in the 5 GHz band, European regions have different and separated WLAN spectrums. PRISM WR fully supports the 2,40-2,50 and 4,9-5,85 GHz frequency ranges with certified dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and transmit power control (TPC) capabilities to ensure non-interference with specified radar operations. PRISM WR also complies with the proposed 802.11j admendment for operation within the 4,9-5,1 GHz band in Japan.

The two-chip solution employ's Intersil's PRISM Nitro technology, a firmware upgrade that is part of Intersil's SingleSource Driver suite. Intersil says that Nitro technology delivers up to a 3x improvement in throughput for 802.11g clients operating in mixed-mode wireless networks and up to 50% greater throughput performance in 802.11a and 802.11g only networks.

Intersil say this second-generation solution also consumes up to 75% less power than competitive designs, allowing users to spend more time connected on battery power.
