Analysts forecast that the Wireless LAN market will grow from 8 million users in 2002 to 80 million users by 2007. This explosive rate of WLAN adoption is driving the need for high capacity WLAN infrastructure within the enterprise. Additionally, as enterprise deployments continue to grow, IT Managers need WLAN infrastructure products that offer enhanced functional capabilities to reduce deployment complexity, increase network robustness and reduce operational costs. Today’s WLAN silicon is optimized for client applications and not for high capacity WLAN infrastructure applications. By allowing simultaneous communications on all WLAN channels, Engim’s Multi-Channel WLAN Switching Engine chipset enables a new generation of very high performance, cost-effective access points. These chipsets apply Wideband Spectral Processing to standards-based WLAN infrastructure products for the first time, thereby dramatically increasing bandwidth and data throughput and making a whole new range of features and functionality available to users at low cost.
