Ralink Launches RT3350 Router-on-a-Chip and RT3390 NetBook Client Chipsets
TMCnet Contributor Ralink Technology, a developer of wireless solutions, announced the launch of RT3350 router-on-a-chip and RT3390 NetBook client which are integrated 802.11n chipsets.
These chipsets can be integrated into high volume PC, router, broadband connectivity and consumer electronic products and they incorporate radio, baseband and power amplifiers all on a single die.
“The new RT3390 and RT3350 provide the optimal solution for customers aiming to capitalize on the growing market for high-performance yet cost effective WLAN chips,” said Horen Chen, president of Ralink (News - Alert) Technology.
“Our new chips are easy to integrate, and provide performance and flexibility that meet today’s market demand for small, inexpensive yet high-performance devices. Our latest offerings allow manufacturers to get their products to market quickly while also ensuring an optimal cost performance,” said Chen.
Last year Ralink released a single-chip 802.11n RT3090 client and RT3050 router solution followed by 14 additional components like high performance amplifiers. This led to increased levels of 802.11 chip integration, lower system-level bill of material cost and simpler design, testing and manufacturing processes.
Ralink said that the RT3350 router-on-a-chip includes an 802.11n media access controller (MAC) and baseband, a 2.4 GHz radio, a 320 MHz MIPS 24K CPU core, a 5-port Fast Ethernet switch and physical layer devices (PHYs) and several options for system memory besides a power amplifier.
The requirement for external components is reduced in the RT3350 and it includes all components needed for building a router from a single WLAN chip. This solution is also available with interfaces capable of incorporating a 3.5G modem or to function as a print server.
The RT3390 is an 802.11n PCIe client solution which delivers 7X throughput and a better range compared to legacy 802.11g devices in NetBooks and laptops. This solution features an integrated 2.4 GHz power amplifier and low noise amplifier, power detector, transmit and receive switch and diplexers all included in a miniature package measuring 8mm x 8mm, said the company.
Ralink Technology Corporation innovates and develops wireless chipset solutions and its products offer optimum throughput, extended range, low-power consumption and reliability which are important requirements for Wi-Fi, mobile and embedded applications. These chipsets can be integrated to build smaller and sophisticated mobile wireless products.
The company’s MIMObility technology extends Wi-Fi applications from traditional PC networking to digital multimedia and handheld devices like cell phones, PDAs, cameras, print servers, HDTV and video game players.
