Ralink Technology will be able to reach its business target for the second quarter of 2010 and has also seen clear order visibility for the third quarter, according to company CEO Shinjou Fang.
Ralink is currently operating at a tight schedule as demand for the company's WLAN and broadband solutions have remained strong, said Fang, adding that 2010 is going to be a banner year for Ralink.
Meanwhile, Ralink is demonstrating its latest wireless technologies, connectivity features, and applications at the Grand Hyatt Taipei in suites 1005 and 1006 during Computex 2010.
Highlights of the demonstrations include:
(1) High definition video streaming over 802.11n Wi-Fi: Ralink's high-performance Wi-Fi solutions are optimized for integration into a variety of high-volume consumer electronics applications including HD televisions, Blu-ray Disc players, wireless set-top boxes (STBs), and next-generation triple-play broadband gateways. With Ralink Video Turbine technology these solutions deliver the speed, range, and reliability required by service providers and OEMs to deploy wireless multimedia solutions in the home, Ralink said.
(2) 802.11n IPTV / Blu-ray solutions: Ralink's MediaConnectTM solutions (802.11n Wi-Fi single chip solutions) enable users to wirelessly connect an HDTV, STBs, or Blu-ray Disc players to a network for streaming access to IPTV services, Internet TV, wireless DLNA content, InfoLink RSS and BD Live services.
Ralink's MediaConnectTM solutions deliver up to 300 Mbps of throughput with support for critical home-user functionality including Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) for a simple and secure out-of-the-box experience, and wireless multimedia capabilities for prioritized quality of service (WMM and WMM-PS), Ralink added.
(3) Dual-band concurrent 2x2 802.11n BT3.0 combo for mobile PCs: Ralink's RT3592BC8, a combo solution capable of simultaneous dual-band 2x2 802.11n MIMO and Bluetooth 3.0+HS operation, elevates wireless mobile computing into a new level of multimedia capability. Peer-to-peer gaming, shared and tethered connections can now be initiated via the simplicity of Bluetooth 3.0+HS detection and setup, while 2x2 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi boosts data rates to 300Mpbs, Ralink said.
(4) Wi-Fi Direct for peer-to-peer consumer electronics applications: Wi-Fi Direct allows Wi-Fi devices to connect in a new way that makes it more simple and convenient than ever to do things like print, share files, display, and to connect to one another without joining a traditional home, office, or hotspot network. The new technology, previously code-named "Wi-Fi peer-to-peer," can be implemented in any Wi-Fi device, including notebook computers, cameras, printers, and mobile phones, to human interface devices such as keyboards and headphones.
