Motia's signal processing chip can optimize signal strength without losing standards compliance: This signal-processing chip analyzes each packet as it passes out of an 802.11b/g compliant chipset and optimizes the signal characteristics before it's broadcast. As a result, it can throw normal 802.11b/g two to four times further in a variety of short-range and long-range scenarios.
Because this is a single component, an existing Wi-Fi manufacturer could combine the chip with silicon from other companies to achieve the benefit instead of switching over to an entirely new chipset.
