Broadcom: Wirelsss combo chip includes 802.11, NFC, BLE

Broadcom's wireless combo chip, the BCM43341 four-function wireless IC, provides the highest level of integration available for a mobile or handheld system. It includes a dual-band (2.4-GHz/5-GHz) IEEE 802.11 a/b/g and single-stream IEEE 802.11n, near-field communications (NFC), Bluetooth LE 4.0 (BLE), and an FM radio receiver.

It's a chip that offers OEMs the ability to integrate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, and near-field communications easily into a product — with FM radio also available. We think the possibilities are very, interesting, and not just for cell phones. As an example, you can now easily have a portable medical unit with 5-GHz Wi-Fi sending data back to the main desk and to the cloud, near-field communications to scan an ID tag, and Bluetooth to wirelessly connect a measurement probe of some kind. What other applications? You tell me.
