Cypress Expands Wireless Connectivity Portfolio with New 802.11ac High-Performance Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Combo Solution Solution

During Computex 2017, Cypress Semiconductor announced a new wireless solution that delivers advanced coexistence combining 802.11ac high-performance Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The new highly integrated Cypress CYW4373 solution incorporates a USB 2.0 hub that provides a common WLAN and Bluetooth interface. The combo solution seems to be ideal for connected audio systems.

Cypress Semiconductor announced two new wireless solutions that deliver advanced coexistence and robust connectivity combining 802.11ac high-performance Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The 802.11ac solutions use high-speed transmissions to enable devices with faster downloads and better range, as well as lower power consumption by quickly exploiting deep sleep modes. The solutions are supported in Cypress' popular WICED Studio development platform.
