Broadcom has established the world’s first solution combining Bluetooth 3.0 + Wi-Fi for mini-PC
Corporation Broadcom, which specializes in the element base for wireline and wireless interfaces, announced three modules Bluetooth + Wi-Fi, for tiny mobile computers. New items are combined into a series of InConcert. According to the company, they are the first and so far the only solutions in the industry, combining Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in a miniature form factor (half mini-card).
Manufacturers of mini-PCs are seeking ways to miniaturization, which would allow them to reduce the size of computers, not without compromising functionality. In the case of the wireless interface problem is particularly acute, since it is necessary to ensure sustainable operation of several radio and antennas, linked in a limited space. In addition, you want to exclude the mutual influence of interfaces that can occur when you use them simultaneously and appear as the deterioration of sound quality in Bluetooth-headset, or delays in the Bluetooth-mouse manipulation, reducing the speed of even breaking the connection Wi-Fi.
These problems are successfully solved by specialists Broadcom modules BCM94312HMGB, BCM943225HMB and BCM943224HMB. The first of these supports Bluetooth 3.0 and 802.11g, the second – Bluetooth 3.0 and 802.11n, the third – Bluetooth 3.0 and 802.11n in the two frequency bands (2.4 and 5 GHz). Currently available modules of study samples. Serial supply company promises to begin in the third quarter.
