Wireless LAN that complies with the IEEE802.11 standard has become standard equipment on personal computers in recent years. Further, progress is being made to load these devices into printers and projectors. One could say that they have steadily attained full membership in the SOHO environment. They are also expected to be implemented for home entertainment functions related to applications that transmit audiovisual signals as well as portable-type game machines. Furthermore, their application in the field of voice communications is anticipated, in combination with the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. In order to develop products in a timely manner for the wireless LAN market, which is rapidly expanding, it is essential to shorten the development period while reducing the risks related to LSI remakes resulting from respins.
