Cirrus Logic Releases Wi-Fi Wireless Suite for SOHOBy Cirrus Logic is now producing the Bodega wireless LAN suite of products. The Bodega platform features the Whitecap2 network protocol, a multimedia and quality of service (QoS) enabled Wi-Fi (802.11b) certified solution. Whitecap2 offers consumer-friendly Wi-Fi solution for the home and SOHO (small office/home office) environments. In addition, products based on Whitecap2 technology will interoperate with the increasing number of Wi-Fi networks being deployed in offices and public areas such as schools, airports, and hotels. Whitecap2 technology incorporates home-oriented benefits, including support for high-fidelity entertainment content, such as MPEG-2 video and CD-quality audio; built-in resistance from common household interferers, such as microwave ovens and cordless phones; and consumer ease-of-use features. Whitecap2 also enables a new range of wireless consumer devices, such as networked set-tops, digital video recorders, residential gateways, wireless MP3 players, mobile Web pads, and digital audio and video jukeboxes. Whitecap2 is the earliest incarnation of IEEE 802.11e wireless LAN functionality. 802.11e adds multimedia and QoS support to the current IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN specification. Significant elements of Whitecap2's QoS enhancements have been incorporated into the 802.11e draft specification. Cirrus is in full production with Whitecap2 now, and consumer products are expected to be available in the first half of 2002. Products containing Whitecap2 will be backward compatible with Whitecap1 technology, found in existing products from Panasonic and NETGEAR, as well as software upgradeable to the upcoming 802.11e standard. The Bodega wireless LAN platform also includes Cirrus' new CS22200 Series Network Controllers, which support a broad range of digital interfaces and applications, from desktop and notebook PCs to digital set-top boxes and residential gateways. The CS22200 Series includes the CS22210 Wireless PCI/USB Controller, CS22220 Wireless PCMCIA Controller, CS22230 Wireless Mini PCI Controller, CS22250 Wireless 10BT Controller, and CS22270 Wireless Multi-Link Controller. The platform also includes Cirrus' radio reference designs, 802.11b compliant radios enabling low cost, high performance, wireless home networking products, and a broad range of system reference designs.
