Wi-Fi is hot. Steeds meer netwerken staan (bewust) open en grote steden bieden de dienst gratis aan. Ook een beetje Smartphone, netwerkprinter of cam kent Wi-Fi.
De nieuwe verbeterde 802.11n-Chip van Marvell verbetert de snelheid van nu 300 naar zo een maximale snelheid van 450 Mbps. Ook het bereik in afstand zou verbeterd zijn.
Op de Consumer Electronic Show, die volgende week in Las Vegas begint, zal Marvell de chiptechnologie tonen.
