Atheros Communications Launches World's Most Integrated Single-Chip 802.11g Access Point Solution

Atheros Communications, Inc. has announced the most integrated single-chip wireless LAN (WLAN) solution for access point and router products. The Atheros AR5007AP-G, a design breakthrough in WLAN, features a complete 802.11b/g wireless access point system on a chip. This compact and cost-effective solution combines the wireless network processor, media access controller (MAC), baseband, and all radio functions up to the antenna in a single silicon chip.

Cost-Efficient WLAN Technology Increases Accessibility of Home/SOHO Wireless Networking

With the AR5007AP-G, Atheros continues its leadership in addressing the market demand for low-cost, standard 802.11g access points and routers. The company has integrated many of the discrete components contained in its previous generation design. The new AR5007AP-G offers a total component reduction of 40 percent versus the Atheros’ AR5006AP-G access point solution, which has led the market for total bill-of-materials (BOM) integration.
