Just as consumers are getting used to surfing the Internet on home wireless networks, Atheros Communications is hoping they’ll embrace multimedia wireless networks using an upcoming product that improves the quality and range of wireless signals.

Atheros makes wireless LAN chipsets for WLAN equipment vendors. It plans to release the AR5005VA chipset later this year to bring improved wireless networking capabilities to consumer electronics devices such as DVD players, set-top boxes, and digital televisions, says Craig Barratt, president and chief executive officer at Atheros.
