Redpine Signals is a fabless semiconductor company that started its operation in 2001.[1] The company makes chipsets and system level products for wireless networks.[2] It serves the Internet of Things and wireless embedded systems market, enabling all volume levels of chipsets and modules.[3]
In 2005, Redpine Signals developed a low power 802.11 b/g chipset, which it licensed to a semiconductor company for use in its product or SoC as a wireless interface.[3] The company established a single stream 802.11n Wi-Fi product in 2007 for handheld devices.[3] In 2012, Redpine Signals developed a simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi 11n/BT 4.0 + 5 GHz MIMO 11ac convergence SoC for smartphones and tablets.[4] The company also introduced a simultaneous dual-band 450 Mbit/s 3x3 802.11n chipset for digital home and enterprise applications.[3]
Products and Services
Redpine Signals' products include single stream 802.11abgn chipsets and modules, and system products for Wi-Fi based Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS).[5][6] The company also offers 'Wi-Fi Starter Kits' that include Redpine Wi-Fi Interface cards integrated with microcontroller development kits from partnership companies.[7]
There is an open-source device driver mainlined in the Linux kernel for some rsi91x hardware that uses the mac80211 framework.[9] Other drivers are documented in Comparison of open-source wireless drivers.
