The next WLAN generation - checked by ONwebCHECK

Draft N WLAN should be a ONE-CHIP-Solution. The standard for the next-faster WLAN generation (IEEE 802.11n) is not yet discharged, but already stable enough for some company's to develop the first samples. For example Cisco arranges to offer a Draft N ACCESS POINT.
Now Broadcom presented a 802.11n- able WLAN component named BCM4322/4323. It contains the function groups medium ACCESS CONTROLLER (MAC), base band processor and two Transceiver (2T2R) for 2,4 GHz or 5 GHz on a chip. According to short data sheet the component works after the 802.11n-draft 2,0 and is compatible with Draft 1,0 as well as 802.11a, b and G. It works in PCIe and PCI systems; the variant BCM94323 works with a USB-2.0-Interface.
