The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi platforms portfolio provide a comprehensive selection of hardware IP and CPU-agnostic host software for energy-efficient SoC implementation of any of a wide range of Wi-Fi subsystems, from Wi-Fi 4 to Wi-Fi 7, for both client devices and access points.
The portfolio includes a suite of pre-optimized solutions for various generations and configurations for specific Wi-Fi uses, power consumption levels, and price points, ranging from low-bandwidth IoT connectivity to high-bandwidth hubs.
Embedded into one of the Ceva-Waves Links multi-protocol wireless platforms, the Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi IPs can efficiently co-exist with the Ceva-Waves Bluetooth IPs and/or Ceva-Waves UWB IP.
The Solution
The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi platforms comprise hardware modem PHY IP that supports DSSS, CCK, OFDM and OFDMA modulations; optimized MAC IP that offloads MAC functions from the CPU; and a comprehensive selection of MAC protocol software stacks. The IP and software elements are further organized into three main solution profiles.
- Wi-Fi IoT is for energy-efficient low-bandwidth connectivity for IoT devices, supporting 2.4GHz single band or dual/triple bands on 2.4/5/6 GHz for IEEE 802.11n, ax, or be (Wi-Fi 4, 6 or 7).
- Wi-Fi High-Performance supports up to 160 MHz bands at 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz in either single-antenna or 2×2 MIMO mode for IEEE 802.11ax or be (Wi-Fi 6 or 7), and is intended for consumer media-streaming applications.
- Wi-Fi Access Point supports 160 MHz bands and 2×2 MIMO for IEEE 802.11ax or be (Wi-Fi 6/6E/7), for applications such as media access points, gateways, and small-cell offload that must support up to hundreds of clients.
The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi platforms include a coexistence interface that permits highly efficient operation with the Ceva-Waves Bluetooth platforms.
