Motorola to use gaming LAN as 2.4-GHz entry (http://www.commsdesign.com/story/OEG20020723S0045)
Motorola will use a proprietary frequency-hopping scheme developed for multiuser gaming as its indirect entry into 2.4-GHz wireless markets. The isochronous network, developed with input from Nintendo Co. Ltd. and Sony Corp.
Because the network is intended for streaming, near-real-time traffic and does not have to use LAN contention methods, developers of such systems will not have to worry about packet collisions with home networks based on 802.11, he said. The hopping modulation scheme will not interfere with either LANs or Bluetooth links in the unlicensed 2.4-GHz band.
