The chip redefines the Wi-Fi connectivity ecosystem for IoT applications, opening a new chapter in the Wi-Fi 6 era of the Internet of Things.
With the advent of the IoT era, tens or even hundreds of billions of smart devices connect to the cloud every year. Wi-Fi technology plays an important role in wireless LAN applications.
According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, more than 10 billion Wi-Fi devices are used for wireless connections worldwide, and more than half of the data traffic is carried and realized through Wi-Fi. Because Wi-Fi technology has characteristics such as short-distance transmission and high-speed transmission, Wi-Fi 6 is widely applied to consumer electronic terminal devices such as mobile phones and laptops, and has gradually penetrated into application scenarios such as the IoT and virtual reality.
The latest Wi-Fi 6 solves the communication bandwidth utilization problem when multiple users coexist, and simultaneously implements features of large capacity, high rate, and low latency. These advantages will greatly promote the wide application of the Wi-Fi 6 technology in the IoT field.
