Intel has acquired the wireless assets of Mindspeed Technologies, which will be used to enhance the IT giant’s data centre and mobile services.

The acquisition comes as part of a large purchasing plan to acquire technology to develop Intel’s wireless and data centre offerings.

The purchasing plan has seen Intel move to acquire multiple businesses and intellectual properties, with past purchases including the $1.4 billion acquisition of Infineon Technologies' wireless division in 2011 and the purchasing of Fujitsu Semiconductor Wireless Products, the U.S. based subsidiary of Fujitsu in 2013, as part of the companies plans to expand its mobile services.
