Wipro-NewLogic is offering a licensable and silicon independent WiLD 802.11a/b/g MAC and Modem core including the protocol software. Combined with the WiLD a/b/g radio IP or with a third party radio, it allows customers to quickly develop a high performance and cost effective multi-standard Wireless LAN solutions.

The WiLD MAC and Modem have been Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for 802.11 a, b, g, h, d, WPA - Personal, WPA2 - Personal and WMM and also support the latest Wi-Fi standards including WPS, WMM-PS, and WMM-AC.

WiLD 802.11 MAC

The WiLD MAC core implements the 802.11a/b/g standard with data rates of up to 54Mbit/s. It also supports the 802.11e standard (QoS) and the 802.11i standard (Security) extensions.

Wipro-NewLogic's profound expertise in wireless communications resulted in the highly optimized MAC core with special focus on low memory and MIPS requirements while maintaining a small gate count. The MAC core interfaces to the ARM standard AMBA bus.

WiLD a/b/g Modem

The licensable and silicon independent WiLD 802.11a, b and g Modem core can be combined with other cores of the WiLD family or with a third party MAC and Radio and enables customers to quickly develop high performance and cost effective Wireless LAN SoC.

The a Modem core allows customers to integrate 802.11a modem functionality into standard ICs and ASICs for the next generation Wireless LAN market. It is fully compliant with the IEEE standards and features high data rates up to 54Mbit/s in the 5GHz band based on OFDM technology.

The b Modem core is fully compliant with the IEEE standards and features high data rates up to 11Mbit/s in the 2.4GHz band using DSSS/CCK technology.

The g Modem core needs to be plugged onto an 802.11 MAC block to implement the signal processing part of the IEEE 802.11g standard.

Applications

WiLD IP can be implemented in a broad range of application specific devices that want to have support for Wireless LAN, such as:

• Consumer Electronics - Portable Media Player, Gaming Devices, Toys, Digital Still Camera, Phone, PDA
• Home Gateway and Media Server
• Industrial, military and aerospace devices
• FPGA applications
