Ralink announces "long range" draft 11n chip Print E-mail

Wi-Fi chipset maker Ralink Technology today announced what it claims is the industry's "longest range" draft-802.11n Wi-Fi chipset. The company said its RT2800 chipset "doubles the range of high-performance wireless systems" through the use of patented, low-noise circuitry. Ralink also said the chipset is designed so that changes to the current draft-802.11n standard can be done via firmware upgrade.

The RT2800 chipset supports PCI, MiniPCI, CardBus, USB 2.0, PCIe and MiniCard interfaces. The USB 2.0 version has a patented antenna inside a small housing that enables the entire draft-802.11n design to fit inside the small footprint of a USB package. This chipset also has its software driver in optional onboard flash memory instead of on CD-ROM.

Pricing and availability were not announced.
