CEVA EXTENDS ITS CONNECT IP PORTFOLIO WITH WI-FI 7 PLATFORM FOR HIGH-END CONSUMER AND INDUSTRIAL IOT
RivieraWavesTM Wi-Fi 7 IP platform offers full-featured, cost- and power-optimized solutions for integrating high-performance Wi-Fi 7 connectivity into SoCs.
Ceva, Inc announced the general release of its next-generation RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP platform, further expanding its widely-licensed portfolio of connectivity IP, targeting high-end consumer and industrial applications including gateways, TVs, set-top-boxes, streaming media devices, AR/VR headsets, personal computing and smartphones. The RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP leverages all the latest advanced features of the IEEE 802.11be standard to deliver a premium high-performance, cost- and power-optimized Wi-Fi solution for integration into the next wave of Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) and Station (STA) products.
Wi-Fi 7's 4K QAM modulation scheme is a substantial increase on the previous 1K QAM of Wi-Fi 6, while Multi Link Operation (MLO) introduces dynamic channel aggregation, seamlessly combining heterogenous channels from the same or different bands to navigate interference and boost throughput. Similarly, Multi Resource Units (MRU) enables the creation of larger channel bandwidths by intelligently stitching together punctured or disjointed Resource Units within the same band. The outcome is not only a remarkable up to 5 times increase in raw speeds but also significantly reduced latency, thanks to diminished contentions and retries.
RivieraWaves™ Wi-Fi 7 IP Key Features:
- Hallmark features of Wi-Fi 7 including 4K QAM modulation, Multi Link Operation (MLO), Multi Resource Units (MRU)
- 2x2 MU-OFDM(A) transmitter and receiver supporting 802.11be, up to MCS13-2SS.
- 2x2 MU-MIMO (Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output technology) for client-dense environments.
- Beamforming to maximize link budget in multi-antenna systems.
- Full MAC software stack, supporting the latest security standards including WPA3 and China's WAPI security standard
- Compatible with the EasyMesh standard for interconnectivity between different APs.
- Advanced Packet Traffic Arbiter (PTA) functionality for Wi-Fi & Bluetooth connectivity coexistence.
- Flexible RF interface enables integration with radio circuitry from multiple Ceva partners or licensee's own radio technology.
- Fully backward compatible with previous Wi-Fi generations (Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E)
