=Wireless Networking=
The PS3 contains two wireless technologies, Wi-Fi 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. Both wireless capabilities are powered by the Marvell 88W8580 chip. In models CECHL and later, this wireless module became part of the motherboard, and is no longer on a separate daughterboard.

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).

IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network and BlueTooth 2.0 EDR controller chip: Marvell 88W8580


The Wi-Fi module uses two internal antennas and allows the PS3 to communicate with access points and Wi-Fi devices like the Sony PSP. The Wi-Fi module contains a 16MB ISSI SDRAM memory chip, and a 64KB SPI Serial Interface NOR Macronix flash chip.
IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network and BlueTooth 2.0 EDR controller chip: Marvell 88W8580 / Marvell 88W8780. See: [[Bluetooth]]
 
The Wi-Fi module uses two internal antennas and allows the PS3 to communicate with access points (normal mode) and Wi-Fi devices like the Sony PSP (AP mode for Remote Play). The Wi-Fi module contains a 16MB ISSI SDRAM memory chip, and a 64KB SPI Serial Interface NOR Macronix flash chip.

Wireless Networking[edit | edit source]

BlueTooth and Wifi channels

The PS3 contains two wireless technologies, Wi-Fi 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: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).


Hardware[edit | edit source]

IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network and BlueTooth 2.0 EDR controller chip: Marvell 88W8580 / Marvell 88W8780. See: Bluetooth

The Wi-Fi module uses two internal antennas and allows the PS3 to communicate with access points (normal mode) and Wi-Fi devices like the Sony PSP (AP mode for Remote Play). The Wi-Fi module contains a 16MB ISSI SDRAM memory chip, and a 64KB SPI Serial Interface NOR Macronix flash chip.
