Timeline

 * 2000: TI acquired Alantro Communications (802.11b chipset)
 * 2003: TI acquired Radia Communications (802.11 RFIC)
 * 2007: Infineon acquired Texas Instruments DSL Customer Premises
 * Equipment (CPE) business, including rights to TI CPE SoCs and some
 * soon-to-be-obsolete WiSoCs, such as the 3-chip WiSoC chipset based
 * on Texas Instruments TNETW1350, which became Infineon PSB1350;
 * Texas Instruments kept the WiLink single-chip Wi-Fi product line.

Currently offering WiLink8, CC3xxx SoC Internet of Things
 * (low-power 802.11bg SoCs), no current PCIe/USB chipsets.

b(g)
Note: most of the 802.11b TI chipsets support a speed of 22Mbps (sometimes called 802.11b+ or PBCC-22; it is not OFDM), twice the speed of 802.11b standard, see List of Wi-Fi Protocols.

IoT
2013+:
 * CC3100 - b/g/n, IoT, SPI/UART, requires external microcontroller
 * CC3200 - b/g/n, IoT, WiSoC (internal microcontroller available for application)
 * CC3300 - b/g, IoT, obsolete

Mobile Computing
OMAP series

AR5/AR7 series
