CSR Powers Canary Wireless' Wi-Fi Hotspotter

(Business News & Technology News, 7 May 2008)

CSR's UniFi Wi-Fi technology has been selected by Canary Wireless for its second generation Digital Hotspotter, the HS20. Building on the success of the HS10 model, the HS20 is able to detect an even wider range of Wi-Fi signals and network properties. The compact, efficient design of CSR's UniFi single-chip Wi-Fi has allowed Canary Wireless to create a device that is attractive, efficient, responsive and highly versatile.

CSR's UniFi has extremely low power consumption, using an average of just 10mW. Easy to integrate, UniFi's 88-ball chip scale package (CSP) measures just 5.8x6.4mm and has excellent radio coexistence, while dual RISC microcontrollers and quadruple QoS packet queues reduce the load on the host processor.

The HS20 is able to detect 802.11 b, g and n, scans on 14 channels and can display information on up to 20 wireless networks without interference from Bluetooth signals, cordless phone signals, etc. By pushing a "scan" button the HS20 will gather the ID (SSID) and signal strength of all networks around it. The HS20 can even display information on the encryption status of a Wi-Fi network; open or secure, WEP, WPA or WPA2.
