Broadcom has rolled out a new line of local area network (LAN) chipsets that it says can increase the range of existing WiFi networks by as much as 50 percent in both office and home settings. Broadcom said its Broadrange 54g chipsets rely on advanced signal processing technology to boost the range from which wireless-enabled computers can access a network. The company rolled out both a single-chip 802.11g client solution for mobile computers and a system-on-a-chip for routers.
