Broadcom on Monday introduced several new 5G Wi-Fi chips and processor platforms for routers, gateways, and set top boxes (STBs) at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Providing 802.11ac Wi-Fi, the new product portfolio is headlined by Broadcom's BCM4366 processor, which the company calls the "the world's fastest 4x4 5G Wi-Fi MU-MIMO chip for home gateways and STBs." Broadcom is targeting retail Wi-Fi access point routers with the new BCM4366 chip, which can be paired with the company's BCM47094 System-on-a-Chip (SoC), a 1.4 GHz, dual-core ARM network processor "enabling unprecedented wireless and video streaming performance."
Also new from Broadcom are the BCM53573 and BCM47189 dual-band 2x2 5G WiFi SoCs for low-priced and mid-level residential routers, wireless repeaters, power line, and MOCA Wi-Fi bridges, the company said.
"Broadcom continues to deliver the industry's highest performing 5G Wi-Fi solutions," Manny Patel, Broadcom's director of wireless connectivity, said in a statement. "The new 4x4 5G WiFi MU-MIMO architecture enables our customers to design faster, higher capacity, longer range access points that are equipped to address the growing number of connected devices in the home and continued demand for high quality wireless video streaming."
