TAIWAN, Hsinchu - 15 May 2012 - MediaTek Inc., a leading
fabless semiconductor pany for wireless munications and
digital multimedia solutions, today applauded the
introduction of the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi CERTIFIED
WMM®-Admission Control program and announced that its
wholly owned subsidiary, Ralink Technology, was selected to
be in the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED WMM®-Admission Control test bed
as the benchmark for advanced Wi-Fi performance and
interoperability. Anticipated as a step forward in Wi-Fi
technology, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED WMM®-Admission Control provides
bandwidth management tools to optimize the delivery of
voice and video traffic in mixed Wi-Fi networking
environments.
"We congratulate Ralink on achieving selection to the Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED WMM®-Admission Control test bed," said Wi-Fi
Alliance CEO Edgar Figueroa. "Ralink's participation in the
development of this program has been instrumental in the
achievement of an industry-wide certification for this
program."
Ralink's role in developing the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED
WMM®-Admission Control program includes early involvement
in proposing fundamental elements of the underlying
specifications, driving interoperability testing, and
contributing proposals and insights that make the Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED WMM®-Admission Control program suitable for next
generation enterprise-grade Wi-Fi connectivity. From the
first 802.11n single chip router-on-a-chip, to the first
single chip Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth bo solution with industry
leading performance for mobile PCs, to the industry's first
3x3 802.11n dual band single chips with beam forming
technology, Ralink has led in many areas of technical
innovation and plays a crucial role in driving the market
towards the new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED WMM®-Admission Control
program.
Further testimony to the preeminence of Ralink's solutions
is the prominent inclusion of multiple Ralink devices in
the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED WMM®-Admission Control interoperability
test bed. Ralink's RT3800PDAP3 Wireless Access Point and
MIMObility 802.11n Reference Design were selected for their
unparalleled bination of performance, efficiency, and
reliability as the benchmark leader for a range of
interoperability tests.
"The ability of Wi-Fi devices to give priority to voice
packets over data packets, optimizing performance in mixed
traffic environments where heavy data, voice and video
traffic co-exist exponentially increases the value of Wi-Fi
for the new generation of hyper-connected devices,"
said SR Tsai, General Manager of Wireless Connectivity &
Networking BU at MediaTek. "MediaTek's industry leadership
in performance, integration, efficiency and reliability can
now bring the powerful new capabilities of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED
WMM®-Admission Control to the widest possible range of
connected CE devices."
