The Next Two ‘Killer’ Apps

The Killer Wireless-N 1202 high-performance Wi-Fi module with Bluetooth connectivity and the Killer E2200 high-performance gigabit Ethernet controller are the two newest offerings from Qualcomm Atheros Inc., the networking and connectivity subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.

The two products are designed to provide improved performance and advanced control by automatically classifying and prioritizing video, audio and gaming network data.

"The Killer Wireless-N 1202 and the E2200 stay true to our promise of providing the best in online application performance, intelligence and control for consumers of both desktop and laptop computers," notes Mike Cubbage, director of business development/ Networking Business Unit at Qualcomm Atheros. "These products create a superior entertainment and real-time communications experience for the end user by ensuring that critical online applications get the bandwidth and priority they need, when they need it."

The Killer Wireless-N 1202 high-performance, 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi module introduces Bluetooth for the first time, providing users with the ability to stream media or to play online games while simultaneously having Bluetooth connectivity. The Killer E2200 high-performance Ethernet controller is an adaptive gigabit Ethernet controller that offers better online gaming and online media performance than standard Ethernet solutions.

All Killer technology ships with the exclusive Killer Network Manager, giving users the power to set priorities for all network applications, to increase or reduce the bandwidth each application uses or to block an application entirely – all in a unique graphical interface.

The Killer Wireless-N 1202 high-performance Wi-Fi module will be available in May, but the Killer E2200 high-performance Ethernet controller is available now.
