The PS3 contains two wireless technologies, Wi-Fi [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11g-2003 802.11b/g] and Bluetooth 2.0. It is not possible for both to be used at the same time, so the PS3 alternates between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication at a very fast frequency using time division multiplexing (note, see:[http://www.marvell.com/wireless/assets/Marvell-WiFi-Bluetooth-Coexistence.pdf Marvell-WiFi-Bluetooth-Coexistence.pdf]).

Both wireless capabilities are powered by the Marvell 88W8580 chip, used on both daughterboards CWI-001 (CECHA, CECHB, CECHC) and UWB-001 (CECHH, CECHJ, CECHK). In [[SKU Models]] CECHL and later, this wireless module updated with Marvell 88W8780 and became part of the motherboard (no longer on a separate daughterboard).
