Broadcom Intros Cheaper Draft N Router Designs
By Glenn Fleishman
On the heels of rival Atheros, Broadcom announces three new Draft N router designs: Broadcom is updating its reference designs—complete systems that manufacturers adapt, develop software for, and package for retail sales—to include a 2.4 GHz only, a dual 2.4/5 GHz, and a simultaneous 2.4/5 GHz line of Draft N routers. Gigabit Ethernet is available on all three designs. Unlike Atheros, Broadcom apparently isn’t discussing potential retail price points of each of these routers.

Atheros Slashes Costs for Concurrent Dual-Band Draft N
By Glenn Fleishman
Atheros has released a reference design for a Draft N router with dual 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support that manufacturers could retail for $100: The new Xspan AR9002AP system allows simultaneous support for full-throughput 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. While several such devices are now on the market, they list for $200 to $300. Apple’s AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, and Time Capsule routers, as well as a number of $100 to $200 routers, support both bands but not simultaneously: you configure for one or the other.
