Simultaneous dual-band 2.4-GHz 802.11n/BT4.0 + 5-GHz MIMO 802.11ac chipset is industry’s first

Simultaneous dual-band 2.4-GHz 802.11n/BT4.0 + 5-GHz MIMO 802.11ac chipset is industry’s first

Based on the company’s Quali-Fi 802.11ac technology, the simultaneous dual-band 5-GHz MIMO 802.11ac + 2.4-GHz BT4.0, 802.11n chipset is offered as the first of its kind. It offers PHY data throughputs up to 1.3 Gbits/s and an advanced 802.11ac feature set encompassing Multi-User MIMO and LDPC.

The chipset uniquely offers reconfigurable single-chip simultaneous dual-band capability wherein the chipset can be configured on-the-fly through software as either a 3×3 802.11ac solution in 5 GHz or simultaneous 2×2 11ac in 5 GHz and 1×1 802.11n in 2.4 GHz. In addition, the RS9333 chipset supports BT4.0 in 2.4GHz which coexists optimally with the on-chip 802.11n/ac using innovative coexistence mechanisms. Based on Redpine’s in-house four-threaded processor ThreadArch, the RS9333 achieves high-throughputs and real-time QoS on the concurrently operational 802.11ac, 802.11n and BT4.0 wireless links while still keeping a free hardware thread available for offload of Layer-3 and application-specific functions. The chipset provides PCI-e, USB and SDIO3.0 host-interfaces to enable integration into a multitude of systems ranging from smartphones and tablets to high-end enterprise routers.
