The customer
US based broadband company,
leader in developing low cost cable modem and
wireless solution for broadband access and distribution.
The challenge
Early silicon success for
a complex SoC which includes evolving Wireless
LAN solution.
The solution
 |
Wipro licensed
its Multimode Wireless LAN MAC end 2002, to
be integrated by the customer into a wireless
broadband gateway chip |
|
The customer went for fab
in mid 2003. Wipro’s Wireless LAN MAC
core saw its first silicon success for TSMC
0.18um process |
|
Customer is in Maintenance
contract with Wipro for last 2 years |
|
Wipro licensed its IEEE
802.11i/WPA solution in early 2004 for second
silicon spin. Fab to happen in mid 2004 |
|
Licensing to be done for
QoS (IEEE 802.11e) and other IEEE 802.11 extensions |
The benefits
|
First tape-out
as early as mid 2003 for a Wireless gateway
solution |
|
Extensive support for chip
bring-up |
|
Long term committed partnership
for continuous updates for evolving 802.11
specification and its extensions |
|
Availability of early version
of 802.11 extensions to come into the market
with latest features like advanced security |
Wipro is fully committed to
the Wireless LAN space and hence is an early adopter
of different IEEE and WiFi specifications related
to Wireless LAN. Hence partnering with Wipro means
long term support to its customers which is so
essential for evolving standards like IEEE 802.11.
Wipro’s Wireless LAN IP customers get the
best quality core, completely adhering to the
standard, interoperable with third party devices
and assurance of continuous support for future
upgrades and different extensions.
