BSQUARE Delivers Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) Client Driver for NXP Semiconductors' Industry-Leading, Low-Power 802.11g WLAN Solution.BELLEVUE, Wash. -- BSQUARE (Nasdaq:BSQR) has delivered a Windows[R] Mobile 5.0 SDIO See SDIO card. client driver utilizing its high-performance SDIO Hx software stack (1) A stack that is implemented in memory rather than in hardware registers. See stack. (2) A generic reference to a set of system programs or a set of application programs that form a complete system. See stack. to NXP Semiconductors NXP (for Next eXPerience) Semiconductors is the name for the new semiconductor company founded by Philips as announced by its CEO Frans van Houten to its customers and employees in Berlin on Thursday night 2006-08-31 and to the global media early on Friday morning to enable the chip maker to demonstrate the superior data throughput of its industry-leading, low-power Wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area (WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network ) solutions over an internal SDIO bus. NXP Semiconductors is targeting this high-performance, low-power Wi-Fi solution at Windows([R]) Mobile OEMs looking to address end-customer demand for real-time audio and video content delivery over WLAN networks to mobile devices. Through their partnership with BSQUARE, named Microsoft([R]) Windows Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Integrator of the Year for 2006, NXP Semiconductors plans to accelerate the adoption of their low-power WLAN products by Windows Mobile OEMs. These same OEMs will then be able to quickly and easily use BSQUARE's high-performance SDIO Hx software stack as they deploy new devices to market. "By running BSQUARE's SDIO client driver in conjunction with our industry-leading low-power WLAN solutions, we can demonstrate best-in-class WLAN performance on Windows Mobile based client devices. Our solution enables our customers to deliver rich and satisfying real-time wireless multimedia experiences on mobile and portable consumer devices, like SmartPhones and Portable Media Players, without sacrificing battery life," said Paul Marino, Vice President and General Manager, Business Line Connectivity, NXP Semiconductors.
