802.11b Integrated Media Access Controller & Baseband Processor
WavePlus' WP1200 Wireless LAN Media Access Controller (MAC) with integrated Baseband
Processor (BBP) is a single-chip controller providing full processing and functionality
for IEEE 802.11b wireless networking.
The WP1200 lets system builders incorporate a powerful and flexible component into their designs,
bringing performance and reliability as well as standards-compliant functionality. The chip includes a built-in DSP optimized
for encryption/decryption, allowing firmware upgrades for new security algorithms and protocols.
The WP1200's versatile interface support and single-chip design also make the integration process
simple and straightforward. The chip's configurable host interfaces support PCI, MiniPCI, PCMCIA,
CardBus, and CompactFlash applications. The WP1200 additionally provides industry-leading support for both 32-bit
and 16-bit architectures, giving designers the freedom to develop integrated wireless solutions without costly
modifications to their existing reference designs.
WavePlus' WP1201 builds upon the proven success of the WP1200, offering system houses an enhanced version to ensure even
faster integration and greater compatibility with today's products. The WP1201's reduced-power
characteristics and tinier footprint make it an ideal choice for mobile wireless devices and applications.
