Fulfilling a long-time goal, Intel is set to introduce this week its first chipset that supports all three current forms of Wi-Fi, according to sources familiar with the announcement.
With a chipset that includes IEEE 802.11a, b, and g technology, a notebook PC can continue to connect to corporate wireless LANs without a hardware upgrade even if the enterprise migrates to a new infrastructure. Other vendors already offer so-called “tri-mode” chipsets. Early this year Intel introduced a combination 802.11b/g chipset, but it has yet to include all three technologies.
