"Broadcom's dual-band 802.11a/g mini-PCI technology is ideal for business customers that want to future-proof their notebook investments," said Jeff Thermond, general manager of Broadcom's Home and Wireless Networking Business Unit, in a statement.
"Our 54g technology provides the industry's best speed, reach and security for upcoming 802.11g, the industry's new mainstream wireless Lan standard, and for 802.11a, enabling customers to keep their notebook while their wireless Lan infrastructure evolves."
Ken Furer, of market research firm IDC, said: "The 802.11a wireless Lan market has had a slow start, but we expect that dual-band 802.11a/g mini-PCI cards will become a key driver for 5GHz products."
