Broadcom announced a chipset for wireless IP phones that will create a new category of consumer products. Wi-Fi® phones based on this chipset will offer consumers a cordless phone replacement that can also support data applications such as web browsing, email and instant messaging. This solution is based on the convergence of Broadcom’s award-winning 54g(TM) wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and field-proven Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies. When compared to similar solutions, Broadcom’s Voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) chipset reduces major chip count from four to two chips, and offers additional important features such as quality of service (QoS) and security.
This means more devices sometime next year.
