Texas Instruments WiLink 7.0 delivers industry’s first quad-radiosingle chip

Texas Instruments has unveiled its WiLink 7.0 single-chip solution, the industry’s first offering to integrate WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, GPS, FM Radio (transmit/receive), and Bluetooth technologies. Integrating these capabilities on a true single chip, the 65-nanometer WiLink 7.0 solution reduces costs by 30 percent, reduces size by 50 percent and delivers superior coexistence performance as compared to today’s existing solutions.

Built on seven generations of proven technologies and legacy software, this single-chip solution further extends TI’s heritage of bringing technologies previously seen in high-end devices to the broad mobile market.

The WiLink 7.0 solution is sampling to major OEMs today. Devices using the WiLink 7.0 solution are expected to enter the market by the end of 2010. The WiLink 7.0 solution will be showcased during Mobile World Congress 2010 in the TI booth (8A84, Hall 8). For more information, visit www.ti.com/wilink7pr.
