Agere Systems has announced today that it is working on a new low-power, high-bandwidth throttling 802.11g chip for handhelds, rated at 54 Mbps.

This embedded system-in-package (SiP) delivers 54 megabit-per-second (Mbit/s) speeds while balancing exceptional range and power savings for such wireless products as personal digital assistants (PDAs), media players, Smartphones, handheld video game devices, and digital cameras and camcorders.

Volume production of the chip is not expected until 3rd quarter of 2004, with commercial availability coming soon after. No products using the new chip have been announced.
