excellent solution for the UMPC platform with incredibly
low total system power -- drawing less than 400mW -- and

    The UMPC platform was designed to offer full PC
capabilities and "always on" connectivity in a
small, thin and light platform.   The small footprint,
ultra-low power of the 88W8686 WLAN processor will enable
UMPC users to have the ultimate mobile experience with
instant access to content and information in a perfectly
portable formfactor.   

    "We see a growing opportunity for the UMPC
platform, bridging the gap between notebooks and high end
smart phones," said Iain Gillott, principal analyst,
iGR. "Since good battery life is critical to the
success of any mobile device, UMPC devices will require
low-power solutions such as WLAN chips from Marvell
Semiconductor."

    "Marvell is thrilled to offer continued support
for the Intel UMPC initiative," said Dr. Paramesh
Gopi, Vice President and General Manager of the Embedded
and Emerging Business Unit, Communications and Consumer
Business Group at Marvell.  "The UMPC platform
represents a radical change in the level of productivity
road warriors can expect. The Marvell 88W8686 WLAN gives
our customers the ability to dramatically enhance battery
life over traditional notebook designs."
