Ceva’s RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP platform is available now for Access Point applications, with an optimised Station implementation arriving later this year. See: https://www.ceva-ip.com/product/rivierawaves-wi-fi-platforms/.
The platform leverages all the latest advanced features of the IEEE 802.11be standard to deliver
Wi-Fi 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.
