Recently, Synaptics announced that its IoT wireless connectivity chip family, Veros, has introduced the first two SoCs supporting the Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard, namely SYN4390 and SYN4384.
Both of these chipsSupports tri-band Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, while also integrating Bluetooth 6.0 and 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread) functionality.and complies with the Matter protocol, reducing the cost and power consumption of IoT systems while supporting diverse wireless communications simultaneously.
Among the aforementioned new products, the SYN4390 stands out with relatively higher Wi-Fi specifications. It has been optimized for 160 MHz channels and 4096-QAM, supporting 2×2 MIMO or 2×2 + 2×2 MLO, with a peak rate of 5.8 Gbps. On the other hand, the SYN4384 is optimized for 80 MHz channels and 1024-QAM, still supporting 2×2 MIMO, but its MLO is reduced to 1×1 + 1×1.
Venkat Kodavati, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Synaptics Wireless Products Division, stated:
With the widespread adoption of Wi-Fi 7 in wireless network infrastructure, it has created significant opportunities for us to expand the Veros product portfolio to cover a wide range of IoT endpoint devices. We are bringing the advantages of Wi-Fi 7 into the IoT space with high-performance, low-power, and flexible solutions.
