Intel is touting its development of a prototype, CMOS-standard wireless radio that supports all WiFi, or 802.11 standards, including a, b and g, as well as the next-generation wireless 802.11n. The chip giant said through standard, CMOS silicon manufacturing, it could create the “system-in-a-package,” which is a wireless transceiver capable of connecting users with the different wireless flavors. Analysts indicated the news was good for device manufacturers, who will be able to cut costs by using a smaller number of wireless radio chips.
