Atheros Communications Monday announced that Lenovo has introduced several new "enterprise- class" notebooks featuring Atheros' XSPAN draft 1.0 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN) technology.

The new notebooks in the ThinkPad T60, R60, X60 and Z61 series integrate Atheros' AR5008E-3NX chipset, which supports the PCI- Express(TM) interface and operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.

Atheros said the new Lenovo designs are the "first enterprise-class notebooks" from Lenovo to feature draft 1.0 802.11n capabilities and are among the first PC OEM designs to come to market employing Atheros' XSPAN technology.

The Lenovo notebooks are available now. Pricing was not announced.
