Surfer on a smartphone or tablet with a velocity comparable to that of a desktop computer will be possible in a few months if one believes the semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom. It announced that its new chip, called BCM4335 is operational. This will be the first to offer WiFi standard 802.11ac THD mobile devices in 2013.
Icing on the cake, the founder says that this chip is compatible with the standard n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and its electronic innards house an FM tuner with interference-free 4G LTE. Finally Broadcom also ensures that the product is 6 times less energy-hungry wireless solutions n.
This chip last generation, 50% more expensive than the previous ones, should land in smartphones and tablets within 6 months. It will guarantee a transmission rate theoretically useful to 300 Mb / s against 100 Mb / s for 802.11n. Equipped devices will be recognizable by the logo 802.11ac WiFi to be placed on their sides.
This new standard is currently being validated with the Wi-Fi Alliance and the IEEE and, Broadcom, it should be formally approved during the first quarter of next year. Still, we need to be patient before the full potential of future chips "ac", especially because it will use a router 802.11ac and that the team does not automatically give the box of our ISP.
