The third-generation Gobi modem chipsets also have an integrated application processor and hardware accelerators with a feature rich, Linux-based application development environment and optional mobile access point software stack.
When paired with the Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 or AR6004 chipsets, the mobile access point software stack enables customers to design high performance, low power portable and fixed 802.11n routers.
In addition, as useful amounts of flash memory storage are now affordable, the ruggedness of flash memory and the ability to stack chips to provide slim package designs have made NAND flash the choice non-volatile storage technology for mobile devices.
