TrendChip and Ralink Jointly Launch 802.11n Wi-Fi ADSL2+ Gateway Reference Platform

(Product News, 28 Sep 2007)


TrendChip Technologies Corp. and Ralink Technology Corp. have jointly announced the launch of an industry leading 802.11n WiFi ADSL2+ gateway reference platform that integrates a full spectrum of ADSL2+ technologies developed by TrendChip with the advanced 802.11n draft 2.0 wireless LAN technology developed by Ralink.

This reference platform, consisting of TrendChip's TC3162L SOC ADSL2+ gateway processor with Ralink's RT2880 SOC Wireless LAN Intelligent Network Interface Card (iNIC) design, will provide a greater than 120Mbps throughput for whole-home distribution of multimedia contents.

Shinjou Fang, CEO of TrendChip, commented: "By offering the industry's best price-performance 802.11n WiFi ADSL2+ turnkey solution by integrating Ralink's leading wireless technology, TrendChip is enabling manufacturers to deliver the best performance and most cost-effective next-generation WiFi ADSL2+ residential gateways that deliver the full value of 802.11n networking at home."

TrendChip's TC3162L is a high performance ADSL2/2+ Bridge/Router SOC (System-On-Chip) Processor, which provides high processing power, enhanced INP feature for IPTV, advanced IP routing and bridging functionalities, supporting of best-in-class quality of service (QoS) and high throughput performance.

The RT2880 is the industry's first Wireless LAN iNIC on a chip. It is a SoC that integrates Ralink's 2T3R (2-Transmit, 3-Receive) Baseband and Media Access Control (MAC) chips with a MIPS4K CPU.

"The RT2880's innovative iNIC architecture will accelerate the adoption of 802.11n into the broadband CPE market," said Rick Jeng, President of Ralink. "The collaboration between TrendChip and Ralink is designed to provide the ideal ADSL 802.11n solution to our customers to maximize the WLAN experience."
