Leveraging our dominant position in the home, office and Metro Wi-Fi markets with ROCm® (Radio-on-a-Chip) WLAN mobile, handheld solutions, we are building a worldwide ecosystem of WLAN products based on Atheros technologies.  

This enables the most  reliable wireless performance and connectivity anywhere you go.

We’ve leveraged our extraordinary integration expertise to deliver the world’s first single-chip mobile solutions for both 802.11g and 802.11a/g.  This integration allows for cost-efficiencies and space-saving benefits that enable a new class of Wi-Fi products in a broad array of segments—dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi handsets and smartphones, single-mode VoIP phones, portable media players, mobile gaming devices and digital cameras.

Atheros has partnered with Qualcomm to be the exclusive wireless provider for joint reference designs enabling dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi handsets.  The reference designs support Qualcomm’s MSM™ 6200, 6500 and 7500 chipset series for CDMA2000® and WCDMA networks with Atheros 802.11g and 802.11a/g solutions.

Atheros ROCm designs offer the only WLAN solutions for mobile to have achieved Microsoft’s® Windows® Mobile 6.0 certification.  Atheros’ WLAN drivers are built into the Mobile 6.0 OS, enabling our customers to achieve significant time to market and user experience advantages through a rigorously tested WLAN platform.

Atheros is also the only provider of a single-chip, single-mode VoIP handset solution featuring 802.11g and 802.11a/g.  Our single-chip solution provides the smallest VoIP footprint in the industry, resulting in 50% fewer components versus competitive offerings.  This high level of integration lowers costs and yields a smaller form factor to drive mainstream VoIP adoption.  Atheros-class voice over IP performance prolongs battery life and supports clear, uninterrupted voice connectivity.
