MediaTek Announces New Filogic 830 and Filogic 630 Wi-Fi 6/6E Chips

MediaTek unveiled its new Filogic connectivity family with the introduction of the Filogic 830 Wi-Fi 6/6E system-on-chip (SoC) and Filogic 630 Wi-Fi 6E network interface card (NIC) solutions. The highly integrated chipsets offer fast, reliable connectivity with enhanced performance for broadband routers, mesh systems, enterprise access points and retail routers. Two high-performance, power-efficient Wi-Fi 6/6E chipsets with high computation capabilities and a rich set of features.

Bluesound has announced a new generation of its best-selling Node Wireless Hi-Res Multi-Room Music Streamer and PowerNode Wireless Hi-Res Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier. The upgrades include new DAC designs, more powerful quad-core processors, and touch panel controls with presets and proximity sensors, while the PowerNode now offers substantially more power. Both feature an easy-to-clean satin finish in either black or white.

Audinate and NXP Semiconductors have collaborated to introduce a new reference design kit for the popular NXP i.MX 8M Mini QuadLite SoC – providing Dante audio-over-IP to OEMs as on-chip software. Following the announced shift from purpose-built hardware to software-based solutions running on standardized hardware, and a similar agreement to supply software running on Linux for x86 and ARM processors, Audinate now extends the support to NXP’s i.MX 8M processors.

During CES 2018, NXP Semiconductors had the most impressive presence among semiconductor manufacturers. To address the convergence of immersive sensory experiences fueled by voice, video and audio demands, NXP has launched the i.MX 8M family of applications processors, combining robust media capabilities on one single chip. Arkamys and MSC Technologies, already announced support for the new 64-bit processor family.
