Broadcom’s Wi-Fi Chips Lower Power Consumption

Claiming industry-leading power levels, the company's latest family of 54g WLAN devices includes the BCM4326 for 802.11b/g and BCM4328 for 802.11a/b/g solutions. Both employ a unique architecture with self-contained transceivers, radios, and software that reduce the Wi-Fi subsystem's total power consumption and promise to simplify design integration. Other features include algorithms for improved coexistence with Bluetooth radios. Both devices are now sampling to early access customers with prices available upon request.
