FurlCommunications software vendor Virata Corporation (Nasdaq:VRTA) said this week that it has released a reference platform for creating products that support 802.11b wireless networks.
The reference design is aimed at manufacturers of wireless devices, access points and infrastructure products such as wireless-to-broadband routers. The company said the reference design is aimed at enabling developers to quickly develop the products with built-in 802.11b support.The reference design includes an 802.11b module and drivers from chipset vendor Intersil Corporation and Virata's integrated software on silicon (ISOS) platform, the company said. The drivers are pre-integrated into ISOS, which Virata says will save development time.
The company claims that another time-saver is that developers need not pay separate licensing fees for the drivers.
