Tality to Demonstrate Advanced 802.11 Solution At NetWorld+Interop; Offering Accelerates WiFi for The Mass Market.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NetWorld+Interop 2002 Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2002 Tality Corporation today announced that it will demonstrate its 802.11 technology at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas, May 7-9. The demonstration will show Tality's FPGA-implemented dual-mode IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11 MAC fully integrated into the Windows(R) operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . Tality's MAC combined with its 802.11a/802.11b modem designs, world-class short range wireless system design expertise, and experience implementing highly integrated RF IC solutions for 802.11, offers customers an accelerated path to bringing WiFi products to market. "The demonstration of our 802.11 MAC represents a key milestone in our IP development roadmap," said Michael Barkway, director of Short Range Wireless for Tality. "Our track record in 802.11 and other wireless standards is second to none, reinforcing our leadership in the wireless IP market. Tality's MAC is months ahead of our nearest competitor and has unique features and capabilities that will ensure it retains its market leading position," added Barkway. The Tality solution consists of a synthesizable core and protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). for the implementation of 802.11a, 802.11b and dual mode systems. The design, which is suitable for both embedded and hosted applications, was developed from the ground up as a highly optimized, deeply integrated system, designed for maximum data throughput with minimum processor load and chip power consumption. The Tality MAC is modular and has a highly flexible architecture, enabling rapid modification to conform to evolutions in the 802.11 specification. The design already supports dual mode 802.11a/802.11b functionality and has been verified at proprietary rates of 108Mbits/sec and beyond. Tality will shortly sign-up its fifth licensee for this technology and its lead customer is days away from silicon. Tality's licensees can benefit from a highly integrated and feature-rich solution, including the IP cores, an ARM-based platform, CardBus/PCI interface, pre-integrated protocol software and a Windows driver. The maturity and completeness of the Tality solution offers real time-to-market advantages today with a roadmap to future variants. Tality is now adapting its unique MAC architecture to add key Quality of Service, Security and other features as a part of a long-term roadmap, keyed into the development of the 802.11 standards. "While our competitors play catch-up, we are able to offer customers a development roadmap built on real achievement," said Barkway.
