Metalink Ltd. unveils its complete WLANPlus™ family of multimedia networking products and announces its new baseband chip. The MtW8170 baseband device, combined with the company's already available MtW8150 RFIC, will comprise a single chipset targeting the emerging IEEE 802.11n standard for next-generation WiFi®. Metalink's WLANPlus™chipset is a Real-MIMO-based (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) wireless chipset designed for delivering data throughput of more than 240 Mb/s over the air with full-home coverage for video-distribution applications. The WLANPlus chipset can be embedded in digital video recorders (DVRs), set-top boxes (STBs), high-definition televisions (HDTVs), media adaptors and other consumer electronics products to enable seamless multimedia connectivity throughout the home. This is achieved using several key technologies including Real- MIMO, advanced coding, channel bonding, a highly efficient media access control (MAC) packet-aggregation scheme, and Quality of Service (QoS) features.
