Marvell introduces Powerful Wi-Fi Featuring Beamforming Technology
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
 Marvell has announced that the entire family of Marvell Avasta 802.11n solutions will leverage an innovative transmitter beamforming technology to dramatically improve link robustness for clients ranging from new and existing 1x1- 4x4 MIMO products to legacy devices. Beamforming is a specialized method of radio-frequency (RF) transmission used in Wi-Fi access points (APs), substantially enhancing signal reception at the client and, as a result, extending Wi-Fi signal coverage by two to four times. It can also be used between two clients in conjunction with Wi-Fi Direct. "Wi-Fi has become the critical common link to achieve seamless connectivity across all devices. I believe users now expect and demand robust, secure connectivity among all their wireless devices no matter where they go or what data applications they are running," said Weili Dai, Co-Founder of Marvell. "Existing wireless solutions still present different challenges when it comes to the long range and high throughput required for applications such as HD video streaming. Marvell raises technology bar with Wi-Fi solutions leveraging beamforming technology, increasing throughput at range and delivering consistent performance at all times, ultimately providing greater user experience with Wi-Fi than what has traditionally been possible. Marvell's leading Wi-Fi solutions will fundamentally change how the technology is used today and enable a plethora of new applications and innovative products."Marvell's beamforming technology does not require special antennae or any other cost increase of the wireless subsystem and provides greater than 10dB of perceivable gain in over-the-air tests in home and enterprise environments. This gain translates into an increased throughput of 2x to 20x depending on the environment. Beamforming outperforms other digital signal processing techniques for range extension like LDPC by at least six times.For More Details See www.varindia.com | |
