Imagination’s Ensigma wireless communications IP achieves Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ certification on chip that powers Creator Ci40...
16 December 2016 - 3:00AM
Imagination Technologies (IMG.L) announces that its
high-performance Ensigma Explorer wireless communications IP has
once again achieved Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ certification. Certification
was achieved this time via a reference design using the CxT200 chip
which powers the Creator Ci40 development board. The Wi-Fi
Alliance® certification covers Wi-Fi CERTIFIED a, b, g, n, ac, for
two spatial streams; WPA™ – Enterprise and Personal; WPA2™ –
Enterprise and Personal; and WMM®.
Imagination’s Ensigma wireless communications IP cores address
the ever-growing challenge of proliferating communications and
connectivity standards by supporting them all via a single
architecture and, in addition, enabling them to be integrated onto
SoCs with the lowest possible system cost.
Says Richard Edgar, director of communications technology,
Imagination: “The market for both our high-performance Explorer
Wi-Fi and low-power Whisper Wi-Fi solutions continues to grow and
we are experiencing significantly increased levels of interest and
traction. We’re delighted to share this news about a new
certification on yet another Ensigma-enabled product. We continue
to make it as easy as possible for our IP licensees to achieve
certification for their own chips. This development can provide
them – as well as customers of products using the CxT200 chip like
the Creator Ci40 – with confidence in the quality, interoperability
and completeness of Imagination’s Ensigma Wi-Fi solutions.”
Imagination operates extensive interoperability and testing labs
using more than 100 test devices to support customers in meeting
pre-certification requirements for Wi-Fi Alliance certifications
and pre-qualification requirements for various regulatory bodies.
This enables a seamless experience for customers in achieving
success and enabling quick deployment of their final products to
meet their time to market goals.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED ac is the latest generation of Wi-Fi, which
delivers multi-gigabyte data rates, enabling devices to handle
demanding applications such as Ultra HD and 4K video, multimedia
streaming and rapid file transfer on tablets, gaming devices,
handsets and many other devices. Ensigma Explorer wireless
communications IP cores have undergone a rigorous program that
tests for performance, compliance with the specification,
interoperability across vendors, and backward compatibility to
older standards ensuring support of legacy equipment already
deployed in the field.
