Samsung has 120Mbps wireless USB chip

@ 2009/02/11
Samsung Electronics Ltd's semiconductors unit will be highlighting at next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona its ultra-fast Wireless USB chipset.

The 8 x 8-mm SoC operates in the traditional 3.1 to 10.6GHz Certified Wireless USB space and, Samsung says, delivers 120Mbits/s data rates compared to the typical 50Mbits/s achieved with current solutions.

The company says the W-USB SoC can download a 700MB movie in approximately one minute. The SoC has a built-in ARM core, a UWB physical layer, and a memory controller. It also provides an SD card, an MMC, a NAND flash memory, and a high-speed USB 2.0 OTG (On-The-Go) interface without additional logic circuitry.

~11mb/s over wireless USB is far from bad
