MaxLinear WAV600 Series-2 Chipset Selected for Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi 6 Release 2 Certification Test Bed

MaxLinear, the provider of radio frequency (RF), analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits, headquartered in Carlsbad, California, announced that their WAV600 Series-2 Chipset SoCs have been selected as access point test bed devices for the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 Release 2 certification process. The test bed uses a MaxLinear WAV615 and two MaxLinear WAV665 Wi-Fi Transceiver SoCs to enable tri-band interoperability testing at 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz, delivering on performance and increased network capacity.

MaxLinear is known for providing robust, high density power solutions offering a wide input voltage range and excellent thermal performance. But this time, the company reach a new height with the new MxL7213 dual 13A or single 26A power module. This complete switch mode DC/DC power supply includes a wide 4.5V to 18V input voltage range and offers better efficiency and thermal performance than anything on the market.

Two years after the arrival of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, which brought wireless and 64-bit ARMv8 computing to what was already the most popular Linux hacking platform of all time, Raspberry Pi Trading and the Raspberry Pi Foundation have delivered a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with a faster processor, WiFi, and Ethernet. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ has gone on sale for $35, boosting the Model B’s quad -A53 SoC to 1.4GHz, speeding the WiFi to precertified, dual-band 802.11ac, and adding USB-based GbE with PoE support.

MaxLinear, a leading provider of radio frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, announced its AirPHY technology that enables data to be transferred wirelessly through typical building materials with an aggregate throughput of up to 2.5 Gbps. Presented at IBC 2017, AirPHY technology promises the delivery of multi-Gigabit data rates through concrete walls and non-metallic barriers up to 12-inches thick.
