GSMA Mobile World Congress -- Redpine Signals today announced the availability and successful integration of its Lite-Fi RS9110 silicon solution on Infineon's MP-EH mobile platform.

The RS9110 solution enables the Infineon platform to provide ultra-low power 802.11n connectivity at a cost similar to or less than that of current 802.11b/g solutions. The solution achieves low power consumption numbers of less than 1 mW while remaining associated with a Wi-Fi network, while enabling more than 200 hours of talk time on a 800 mAH battery for a VoWiFi call.

The RS9110 incorporates several key features that make it ideal for integration into mobile platforms: 

• an optimized Bluetooth coexistence mechanism,
• a specially designed mechanism to allow addition of user memory through the same SDIO interface, and 
• the ability to provide a conduit, via a single SDIO interface, for the attachment of other devices or functions to any of the peripheral interfaces of RS9110. This multi-function mode, for instance, can be used to attach a Bluetooth or GPS device to the platform without the need to dedicate a separate host interface for the purpose.

The RS9110 is accompanied by device drivers for various operating systems, including Windows Mobile 5, Linux, Windows XP and Vista. Drivers are also available for other operating systems. Redpine provides reference designs for SiP, MiniSD, MicroSD & SD Card form factors.
