Lustenau, Austria -- December 18th, 2007
-- Wipro-NewLogic, the semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP)
business unit of Wipro Technologies, is announcing that its WiLD IP VD4
reference platform has been Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for IEEE802.11a,
IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, WPA - Personal, WPA2 - Personal, WMM, IEEE
802.11d and IEEE 802.11h. The VD4 reference platform implements the
Wipro-NewLogic WiLD MAC and Modem IP in an FPGA and uses a test chip
for the WiLD Eagle radio IP. The platform was configured as an external
adapter card connecting via a CardBus interface to a PC.
We
are proud to be the first IP vendor to achieve Wi-Fi certification for
a complete WLAN solution including the MAC, modem and radio, says
Senthil Murugesan, Vice President and CEO at Wipro-NewLogic.
Certification of our IP reference platform will make certification of
an end product that uses the IP much easier, which reduces
significantly the risk for our customers.
The WiLD IP provides
a silicon-proven solution for designing a complete 802.11 WLAN
interface. It is comprised of the MAC hardware and software, modem and
the radio. The IP supports both the 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g as well as the 5
GHz 801.11a WLAN standards. Implementation of the 802.11d and 802.11h
standards enables products that can meet world wide the regulatory
requirements. Compliance with the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) specification
provides interoperable Quality of Service (QoS) and enhanced multimedia
capabilities. The WiLD IP can be configured either for station or for
access point mode.
Achieving Wi-Fi CERTIFIED status is a clear
indication that Wipro-NewLogic is committed to interoperability and
customer satisfaction, said Karen Hanley, senior director, Wi-Fi
Alliance. This has become an important criteria to effectively compete
in the enterprise and consumer markets.
The all CMOS radio
makes the WiLD IP suitable for SoC integration as well as single-chip
external devices. Alternatively, the MAC and Modem can be integrated
into an all-digital device, since the radio has on-chip ADC and DAC and
uses a digital interface to the modem. A license to do FPGA-only
implementations of the MAC and modem is available, too. Target products
include consumer electronics like digital still cameras or MP3 players,
PC clients and access points, as well as industrial, automotive and
aero-space applications.
Demonstrations of Wipro-NewLogics
WiLD IP can be given worldwide at customers facilities or in the
Wipro-NewLogic offices in Lustenau (Austria), Sophia-Antipolis
(France), Munich (Germany) or India (Bangalore, Pune).
