Ceva recently announced that WUQI Microelectronics has licensed and deployed the Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6 High-Performance STA IP platform in its WQ9201 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chip targeting smartphones, tablets, PCs, TVs, and set-top-boxes.
The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6 IP provides WUQI with one of the industry’s smallest footprint and lowest power high-performance hardware modem and MAC accelerator with FullMAC software protocol stack, ensuring that WUQI can focus their resources on their key innovation strengths to create a best-in-class Wi-Fi 6 solution.
Adopting WUQI-proprietary RF dual-band architecture and WUQI’s original low-power CMOS PA technology, WQ9201 supports dual-band concurrency (DBDC) at 2.4GHz and 5GHz and provides the RF and baseband performance at extremely low power consumption, achieving high throughput and stable wireless transmission.
“Our award-winning WQ9201 combo chip leverages the industry-leading performance of Ceva’s Wi-Fi 6 IP to deliver unprecedented Wi-Fi throughput efficiency for demanding HD media streaming in smart home and consumer electronic devices,” stated Qiang Gu, Vice President of Communications & Algorithm and Head of Wi-Fi Product Line, WUQI. “We’re pleased to partner with them and bring our high-performance combo chip to market.”
“Ceva is a key enabler of ubiquitous wireless connectivity in smart Edge devices by lowering the entry barriers for the development of chipsets embedded with the most popular wireless standards including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, 802.15.4 and cellular IoT,” said Gweltaz Toquet, Chief Commercial Officer at Ceva. “WUQI’s Wi-Fi / Bluetooth combo chip powered by our IPs provides module makers, ODMs and OEMs with a compelling option to bring Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to their products and we look forward to seeing their success in the market.”
