The market has still not completely transitioned from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 and MediaTek is already gearing up to introduce Wi-Fi 7 solutions. The company yesterday announced two new SoCs for IoT devices, dubbed Filogic 880 and Filogic 380. This new pair of chips will be among the first to carry support for Wi-Fi 7.
Filogic 880 is a 6nm SoC that combines a Wi-Fi 7 access point with an advanced host processor solution to provide a better router and gateway solution. It has a scalable architecture that supports up to penta-band 4×4 with a maximum speed of 36Gbps. Moreover, it offers a speed of up to 10Gbps in one channel. It also carries support for OFDMA RU, MU-MIMO, and MBSSID
In addition to Wi-Fi 7, the Filogic 880 chip offers a powerful host CPU with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 application processor and a sophisticated NPU.
Talking about the Filogic 380, it is also a 6nm chip designed to add Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity to electronics such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, notebook computers, set-top boxes, and OTT streaming sticks. Its dual concurrent 2 x 2 capability is pre-optimized for these devices since MediaTek also provides equivalent platform solutions.
The chip comes equipped with MLO to offer up to 6.5Gbps speeds. It can provide up to 5Gbps bandwidth in one channel. The chip carries support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. In addition, it comes with the latest Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio.
Commenting on the announcement of the new chips, Alan Hsu, corporate vice president and general manager of the Intelligent Connectivity business at MediaTek said “Our wireless connectivity solutions are designed to deliver the fastest performance using the most advanced technologies, and represent MediaTek’s commitment to drive Wi-Fi 7 adoption in a large number of new markets With Filogic 880 and Filogic 380, our customers can deliver fast, reliable and always-on connected experiences to meet the industry’s growing connectivity demands.”
MediaTek will demonstrate the new chips at Computex 2022, which will be held from May 24 to May 27 in Taipei, Taiwan.
