ZeroG Wireless was founded based on the belief that a new paradigm of wireless connectivity is upon us. Today, the rapid growth of the Wi-Fi infrastructure is providing the underpinnings upon which the 4th Age of Wireless can flourish: increasingly, devices such as laptops, cell phones, game consoles are becoming connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
ZeroG believes there are thousands more applications that will benefit from wireless Internet connectivity. To get these “things” connected, however, requires a Wi-Fi solution that can easily be designed into a wide array of systems, regardless of their architecture, dramatically reducing engineering effort and time to market. ZeroG is seeking to provide just such a solution. Leveraging its expertise in low-power, integrated design with a deep understanding of embedded systems, ZeroG is developing Wi-Fi chips that enable the 4th Age of Wireless.
