Intel and Linksys Partner to Improve WiFi

[Derek Snyder]

Intel and Linksys announced a partnership aimed at making it easier for consumers to use wireless networking technology, as the two companies look to gain a stronger foothold in the emerging market.

This partnering looks further end some of the long-time configuration hassles that had initially plagued wireless networks.

It seems that both companies stand to gain from a partnering such as this-- Linksys for the manufacturing of access points, receivers, bridges, etc. and Intel for developing new processors and technology which are better optimized for WiFi, such as their Centrino chipset.
