Alereon Wireless USB Chipset Heads for Globalization

Global regulatory approvals, increase in effective throughput & lower cost are essential to the success of Certified Wireless USB. Alereon's recently announced AL5350 Wireless USB chipset allows worldwide deployment with a single SKU model which means OEMs will be able to distribute the same hardware to customers regardless of their local regulatory emission requirement. In addition, the AL5350 - an in-house all-in-one solution integrating BBP/MAC, firmware, RF transceiver - should minimize risk in supply problem when working with multiple vendors. The two work together to further reduce the overall cost, which ultimately decides the fate of WUSB.
