Ashvattha Semiconductor strives for ubiquity

It wasn’t so long ago that the wireless industry was a domain in which protocols were constantly at war with each other. For future success, the industry knows it has to accept the fact that users and their devices will travel between networks and hot-spots covered by a variety of technology standards.

Ashvattha Semiconductor, a San Diego-based company, is doing its part to ensure a ubiquitous future by producing chip sets designs that incorporate multiple front end technologies, including GSM/GPRS, GPS and Bluetooth. Future product phases also will integrate wideband CDMA and the 802.11B wireless LAN standard. The result eventually could be user devices that can do voice calls while simultaneously running a GPS location service, among other applications.
