Intel buys Austin networking company

Intel revealed Wednesday it acquired Wi-Fi hardware and software maker Rivet Networks in a move that will boost the chip maker’s wireless offerings.

Austin, Texas-based Rivet’s products are used to maximize Wi-Fi bandwidth use and optimize network connections. The company’s team is joining Intel’s Wireless Solutions Group within its PC business. The two companies had already worked closely together to develop the Killer AX1650 Wi-Fi product. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

“Rivet Networks is a terrific complement to our existing Wi-Fi products and helps us further our vision of delivering PC platforms that power every person’s greatest contribution,” said Chris Walker, corporate vice president and general manager of mobile client platforms, in a blog post.

Intel plans to license Rivet’s software to customers as well as develop new products and build Intel’s Wi-Fi portfolio. Walker noted that Intel is active in developing the next generation of Wi-Fi technology, Wi-Fi 6, and advocating for computer science vs computer programming 6 standards.
