Intel has acquired the assets of little-known wireless networking chip maker Mobilian for an undisclosed sum.
Mobilian's web site was recently updated to state: 'Substantially all of the assets of Mobilian have been acquired. Mobilian is discontinuing operations as an independent entity.'
Intel today confirmed the deal - made through a cash purchase - which was completed on 31 October.
Privately owned Mobilian developed TrueRadio, a chipset that offers both 802.11b and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and allows the, to co-exist seamlessly, despite sharing the same 2.4GHz frequency band. Mobilian's product was aimed at PC card makers, and computer and PDA vendors wanting to offer both technologies in their devices. "
