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.

Also of paramount importance is the effective throughput; Alereon claims its chipset (the PCIe favor) now reaches 200Mbps at which speed end products can finally work reasonably well in native wireless mode. The Alereon's WUSB chipset is offered in reference designs for half PCIe miniCard, ExpressCard and peripherals like wireless monitor, docking station as well as wireless connections to HDTVs.
