Chip start-up boosts Wi-Fi rate by '10-20 times' By Wireless Watch Published Friday 9th April 2004 20:41 GMT As chipmakers fight to prove they can stretch the range and rate of Wi-Fi well beyond the standard, start-up Engim has enlisted research from the Tolly Group testing company to back up its claims.
It has released test results commissioned from Tolly that show a prototype access point, based on Engim's Wi-Fi chipset and Intel's network processor, performing at 10 to 20 times greater throughput than other APs with conventional WLAN chipsets. Theoretically, Engim claims its products could boost AP performance by up to 50 times.
