Wilocity and Atheros today announced their collaboration to build "tri-band" WiGig / Wi-Fi devices.
Atheros and Wilocity said they are jointly developing tri-band solutions (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 60 GHz) based on both the IEEE 802.11n standard and the new WiGig multi-gigabit wireless specification.
The first joint tri-band solutions from Atheros and Wilocity are expected to sample in the first half of 2011, with volume shipments following in the second half of next year.
Buffalo Technology has announced a new single-band 802.11n router.
Sprint made a flurry of announcements today saying it has upgraded its Power Vision Network to EV-DO Revision A technology in Boston, Hartford, Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh.
The company said that Power Vision users in upgraded markets should experience "significantly faster average upload speeds of 300-400 kbps (compared with 50-70 kbps of current EV-DO networks)". Sprint also said average download speeds should also increase to "450–800 kbps from 400-700 kbps".
