Intel acquired the assets of Mobilian, a start-up developing silicon for wireless networking, for an undisclosed sum. The company was working on designs that enable seamless roaming between WPAN, WLAN, and WWAN networks. Mobilian’s first “True Radio” product was aimed at bridging Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks. The company had operations in San Diego Hillsboro (Oregon) and Yokneam, Israel. Mobilian was founded in February 1999 and raised some $70 million in funding.
