Texas Instruments has unveiled the industry's first
single quad-radio package, incorporating WLAN 802.11n, GPS, FM transmit/receive, and Bluetooth
technologies in one 65nm chip. The WiLink 7.0 boasts several benefits, including a 30% cost reduction, it requires 50% less space, and superior coexistence performance than existing solutions.
The WiLink offers a few unique benefits, such as
hardware mechanisms to cancel out board and chip-level RF interference at the source, and low energy inter-core communication prioritizes packet scheduling and supports more connections in parallel. A full list of features can be read
after the break, but something that jumps out is best in class 3GPP and RF performance.
