Texas Instruments Designs PDA with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS
News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - March 18, 2003

Texas Instruments has announced a new tri-wireless PDA concept design, code named "WANDA", for Wireless Any-Network Digital Assistant. This is the industry's first design that integrates wireless LAN (WLAN) 802.11b, Bluetooth, and GSM/GPRS tri-band technologies into a single design. The design enables simultaneous wireless connectivity anywhere and rich applications without sacrificing battery life.

This high level of integration has also allowed TI to offer the smallest PDA form factor reference design today, reducing parts count and board space. In addition to TI's wireless technology, WANDA is powered by a TI OMAP processor and Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 operating system.

Texas Instruments has no plans on manufacturing the device but has created the design to help companies create products based on TI's chips.
