New Samsung MIMO Laptops
p2pnet.net News:- Samsung has said ‘Bye to Intel Centrino and Hi to Airgo True MIMO (multiple in, multiple out).
Its X20 and X25 notebooks are the first with embedded MIMO technology which it says is the foundation for next generation of Wi-Fi, at the same time maintaining interoperability with 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a/g devices.
“According to IDC, WLAN shipments for mobile PCs will grow from over 50 million in 2005 to more than 100 million by 2009,” say the two companues.
Airgo president and ceo Greg Raleigh claims True MIMO offers more than 10 times the performance of competing Intel Centrino products.
“In its second generation chipset, Airgo has reduced the overall bill of materials (BOM) cost by about 20 percent and reduced power consumption by 18 percent, all while maintaining industry-leading range, throughput and reliability,” he states.
“According to third party testing conducted by The Tolly Group, Samsung laptops with embedded True MIMO technology provide a more reliable user experience with 8 times the speed and 13 times the coverage as compared to the same notebook model with the latest model of the Intel Centrino wireless card.
“Power consumption testing also shows that Airgo True MIMO technology is 2.1 times more energy efficient than Centrino wireless, resulting in dramatically improved battery life when Airgo True MIMO solutions are embedded in the laptop.”
