We have seen the future, and it is tiny. The engineers at Sharp have managed to reduce the size of a 802.11g/b WLAN module to 10 × 10 × 1.6 mm. To improve usability in mobile devices, they've also reduced power consumption to a respectable low 0.9mA in standby mode. Sample of the module dubbed DC2J1DZ115 will be available for 20,000 Yen/piece this month.
