Broadcom has announced three new 802.11ax WIFI chips. These are the successor of 802.11ac standard and quadrupling the transfer speed to 5Gbps versus 1.3Gbps of previous solutions. This new sixth generation WIFI technology combines the current 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies as Dual Band for Simultaneous Streaming. That, in theory, allow those better transfer rates by combining both frequencies.

The BCM43684 and BCM4369 chips version 4 will be included in numerous consumer and industrial devices respectively. And both of these have similar specifications. And the BCM4375 chip is a mobile version. All new Wifi AX standard chips are compatible with previous 802.11a / b / g / n / ac standards. So, there will be no problems between devices. But to take advantage of the new speeds if both are required to be AX.

In addition to speed improvements, the new standard allows high-density wireless locations to deliver greater bandwidth per user. While finally the new standard additionally adds new ways to take advantage of the spectrum of frequencies better and eliminating interferences, in addition to being much more efficient energetically.

Finally, we leave you with the original press release in English of the company:
In addition, Broadcom Limited continues its extraordinary leadership in Wi-Fi by starting Max WiFi, the industry’s first family of connectivity resolutions applying the next Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ax. The Max WiFi chips enable up to four times accelerated download speeds, six times flying upload speeds, four times better coverage. And seven times bigger battery life than similar Wi-Fi solutions on the market today that use 802.11ac. The chips of today are a kick-start an ecosystem of Wi-Fi routers, residential gateways, enterprize access points, and client devices that deliver next-generation Wi-Fi.

Also, the Max WiFi is the sixth generation of Wi-Fi and the most robust standard yet, with innovations that go beyond speed. Max WiFi supports simultaneous video, voice, data and IoT services to an ever-increasing number of wireless devices. That means that steady, high-speed Wi-Fi with a unique quality of duty is available anywhere consumers want it: homes, offices and high-traffic public places such as gymnasia. Max WiFi’s unique architecture is also optimized for internet upload, making social media live-streaming and cloud storage seamless.

In addition, with the demand for high-performance Wi-Fi in the home is increasing unabated with an average group of four required to have an average of 50 related devices by 2022. Also, at the identical time, the amount of media content exchanged between mobile devices through the veil has Increased exponentially. According to Advanced Networks, an astounding 11.8 Terabytes of data was generated at this year’s Super Bowl by fans posting videos, refreshing status, and streaming live from the stadium.

The need to maintain the ‘things’ that connect the home and the mobile devices that create and consume video content at the moment already strain existing Wi-Fi networks. That will be more pronounced for emerging applications such as augmented reality & virtual reality. Broadcom’s Max WiFi, with its innovative architecture,
Broadcom’s ecosystem of Max WiFi products involves BCM43684, BCM43694 & BCM4375.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:
Max WiFi implements:
- Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology, which is the fundamental building block of 802.11ax. OFDMA significantly increases efficiency and capacity of the wireless network as several devices. Communicate concurrently in portions of the frequency spectrum allocated proportionally to their needs. In addition, it enables fine grain quality of service for complex quadruple play applications via the implementation of sophisticated downlink and uplink scheduling.
- Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology to increase channel capacity when servicing multiple simultaneous devices.
- Target Wake Time (TWT) to orchestrate specific times when clients wake and sleep enabling mobile devices to reduce power consumption and increase battery life.
- Spatial Reuse, which allows access points to more efficiently share channel capacity by making intelligent decisions when transmitting data.
The BCM43684 is a chip targeted for the residential Wi-Fi market while the BCM43694 is optimized for use in enterprise access points. Key features include:
- Support for 4-streams of 802.11ax
- 4.8 Gbps PHY Rate
- 160 MHz Channel Bandwidth
- 1024 QAM Modulation
