Broadcom ships 100 millionth Wi-Fi chipset
54g biggest seller ever. Surprise, surprise
Chipset giant Broadcom has announced it has now shipped 100 million 54g Wi-Fi chipsets. 54g has unsurprisingly been the industry's buggest seller ever, but the figures still provide highlight just how mainstream wireless tech has now become. Note the figures are cited as '54g' and not '802.11g' so the company can include sales of the non-standard chipsets it has prepared in the past.
Broadcom was also the largest supplier of chipsets in the first quarter of 2006, with partners including Belkin, Buffalo, Linksys, Netgear and USRobotics. Several of these manufacturers have also taken Broadcom's new Draft-N Intensi-fi chipset. We've seen it in Netgear's RangeMax NEXT and Buffalo's Nfiniti kits.
Broadcom also partners with AMD on the notebook front as the pair battle against Intel's Centrino processor and wireless combo.
