Marvell(R), (Nasdaq: MRVL), the leader in storage, communications, and consumer silicon solutions, and one of the founding members of the Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC), is pleased to recognize the industry's efforts in converging on a draft specification for the IEEE 802.11n standard. The Marvell 88W836X family, first announced in October 2005, complies 100% with the IEEE 802.11n draft specification. The acceptance of this draft specification enables Marvell's key customers, who have been working with Marvell 88W836X chipsets for several months, to launch products in Q106.
As the recognized leader in embedded consumer WLAN, Marvell has numerous customers shipping game devices, cellular handsets, digital cameras, MP3 players, VoIP handsets and other consumer devices. The Marvell 88W836X family ties together all the elements of the digital lifestyle by enabling consumers to enjoy unprecedented levels of wireless performance and coverage demanded by the next generation of integrated audio/video/data consumer appliances.
The Marvell 88W836X family leverages the Marvell Total System Solution for the industry's highest TCP/IP and layer 3 throughput with special optimizations for high reliability video and media transport. Today Marvell is the recognized market leader, driving the adoption of consumer WLAN by offering unique features such as a full suite of ease-of-use innovations and special optimizations for power save modes.
As a founding member of the EWC, Marvell is driving the creation of interoperable products for digital media distribution, mobile handsets, retail and enterprise connectivity solutions. In a continued effort to drive the standards process, Marvell will be hosting a series of plugfests and will play a key role in launching the industry's first interoperability test-bed for 802.11n products.
"Marvell is thrilled that this specification enables our customers to be the first to ship IEEE 802.11n draft compliant WLAN products to the market, said Weili Dai, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Communications and Consumer Business Group. "We thank the IEEE Task Group "N" for their outstanding work and effort in converging on a draft specification for the IEEE 802.11n standard."
