Melbourne, FL

Melbourne, FL- Small, low-cost radio modules for use in home, consumer and other wireless network products capable of transferring data at speeds of up to 1 Mbps are the promise of a highly-integrated Antenna-to-Bits, Physical Layer chip Harris Semiconductor expects to develop using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology. The chip will support products designed around current or developing standards and specifications- i.e., IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth and the Home RF Working Group- for operation in the unlicensed 2.4-GHz industrial, scientific and medical band. The company plans to have the new FH-PHY chip ready for sampling in Q2 of 1999.
