Las Vegas, NV; COMDEX — (press release excerpt) — National Semiconductor Corporation is demonstrating the Geode Mobile Gateway, a wireless Internet access point and personal server in a PDA-size portable footprint, at COMDEX 2001. The small powerful “conceptual device” demonstrates the convergence of broadband mobile communications with personal wireless networks, and allows handheld devices to… seamlessly connect to different networks, such as Bluetooth, 802.11 and GSM, as the user moves between the home, office and outdoors.

The Mobile Gateway will store and retrieve local content in its CompactFlash storage, while also accessing the infinite storage of the Internet. National developed the product in conjunction with eLabs and Century Software. It features a high performance, low power Geode SC3200 processor, National's Bluetooth Compact Flash card, and Century Software's Embedded Linux OS.
