Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi 802.11n can be stuck on single chip

The key to miniaturization of gadgets is to stuck more functions on the same chip. This way size getting smaller and power consumption too, as there’s less waste current traveling between chips on the PCB. Ralink is one manufacturer that managed to get Bluetooth 3.0+HS and WiFi 802.11n functionality on the same chip.

The new chip will decrease power consumption and also lower manufacturing cost. The transmission is automatically adjusted to keep away interferences and keep the best transfer ratio according with signal quality and proximity to an access point/paired devices. Availability wasn’t mentioned at this point by Ralink.
