Cavium and Qualcomm Atheros Create Mobile Adapter Solution andOptimize Wireless Display End-to-End Connectivity withQualcomm-Enabled Smartphones and Tablets TAIPEI , June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Cavium, Inc (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leadingprovider of semiconductor products that enable intelligentprocessing for networking, communications and digital homeapplications, today announced a collaboration with Qualcomm tooffer a mobile adapter solution based on the industry's emergingWi-Fi Display standard (now known as Miracast(TM)) and optimized toprovide enhanced peer-to-peer connections with Qualcomm'sSnapdragon(TM) platform. As a result of the collaboration, majorsmartphone and tablet OEMs will have access to a standards-pluswireless display reference solution capable of robust andhigh-quality video transmissions with simultaneous, fullinteractivity achieved through optimized video compression andtransmission latency. Both Qualcomm and Cavium are committed toproviding solutions designed to support Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDMiracast(TM), when certification is available, and driving themarket adoption of the emerging peer-to-peer technology. The reference solution consists of a Miracast-enabled mobileadapter featuring Cavium's PureVu(TM) CNW6611L SoC and QualcommAtheros' AR6203X 802.11n dual-band Wi-Fi solution, which isoptimized for end-to-end connectivity with Qualcomm'slatest-generation mobile platform, which combines the SnapdragonMSM8960 processor and Qualcomm Atheros' WCN3660 802.11n dual-bandWi-Fi chipset. Live demonstrations of the media adapter referencesolution and its enhanced Miracast performance with the leadingSnapdragon platform for mobile applications are available at the2012 COMPUTEX TAIPEI show, Jun 5-9. "The Snapdragon MSM8960 and WCN3660 combination continues tosee rapid adoption by major smartphone and tablet OEMs throughoutthe industry, thanks to Qualcomm's superior processor, cellular andWi-Fi performance offered in this platform. Support for Wi-FiCERTIFIED Miracast in this popular solution is proving to beanother attractive feature to OEMs," said David Favreau , vice president of product management, Qualcomm Atheros."Through our Miracast enhancements with Cavium, we expect toshorten the time-to-market for customers wishing to implementmobile peer-to-peer applications, by offering a receive-endreference solution with optimized performance when connecting tothe Snapdragon mobile platform." As the emerging Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast certification programnears Wi-Fi Alliance approval, the mobile industry is gearing up toimplement the feature to enable new and exciting capabilitiesimpacting how consumers share, view and generally interact withcontent using their mobile devices. Whether the consumer iswatching a movie, sharing photos, or playing a video game, seamlesstransfer to the larger TV screen brings about a more enjoyable userexperience, which can translate into higher revenue opportunitiesfor the mobile ecosystem. While the forthcoming Miracast standardfacilitates the introduction of such features on mainstream mobiledevices and ensures interoperability with consumer electronicsdevices, there are many opportunities for enhancements anddifferentiation as the standard does not contemplate provisionsdetailing performance, quality or interactivity requirements.Through their collaboration, Cavium and Qualcomm technical teamshave focused on those differentiation opportunities and, whilemaintaining full compatibility with the standard, have created apath for mobile OEMs to benefit from faster time-to-launch mobiledisplay adapters with an already optimized and proven referencesolution. "We are very excited about this collaboration with Qualcomm toaddress the emerging wireless display market", said Rajiv Khemani , Cavium's chief operating officer. "Cavium's PureVu(TM) MediaSoC has already been selected by several major smartphone OEMs fortheir wireless display products due to superior features and lowlatency. This collaboration taps the expertise of both companies tofurther facilitate the adoption of the new Miracast(TM) standardwithin the mobile industry, and to enable OEMs to deliverdifferentiated products within an accelerated timeline."
