p2p news / p2pnet: Broadcom and Atheros say they’ve achieved speeds of more than 100Mbps (bits per second) between devices using their chipsets, as well as other enhancements from the current 802.11a/b/g standards.

Interoperability between Broadcom’s Intensi-fi and Atheros’ XSpan chipsets , “should let many users mix and match draft-standard products from a wide range of vendors and enjoy the high speed promised by 802.11n,” says InfoWorld.

The IEEE 802.11n Working Group has already adopted a draft version, says the story, adding:

“Between them, the two companies count many of the biggest vendors of wireless LAN gear, including D-Link Systems Inc., Netgear Inc., Belkin Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc.’s Linksys unit, as users of their current-standard chipsets. Together the companies’ chipsets represent 90 percent of the world’s consumer wireless router market, according to Broadcom.

“Atheros has already announced D-Link and Belkin as users of its upcoming draft 802.11n products.”

NOTE: p2pnet is being sued by Sharman Networks and Nikki Hemming, ceo of p2p application Kazaa. “The suit is a little odd, since P2PNet.net is a champion of peer-to-peer file-sharing, which is the same business that Kazaa is in,” says The Globe & Mail.
