These two test bed devices support unlicensed operation in the 6GHz and include many advanced Wi-Fi 6 features such as multiple resource unit (RU) sizes for optimal simultaneous OFDMA operation of multiple clients, along with other cutting-edge connectivity features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMediaTek has the broadest Wi-Fi portfolio and is the number one Wi-Fi supplier across broadband, retail routers, consumer electronics devices and gaming with its Wi-Fi solutions that power hundreds of millions of devices every year,\u201d said Alan Hsu, Corporate Vice President at MediaTek. \u201cWith our access point and client-side solutions as part of the Wi-Fi 6E test bed for the product certification process, we look forward to helping our customers meet the latest connectivity requirements by bringing next generation connectivity features to the products consumers love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, MediaTek has worked closely with the Wi-Fi Alliance to ensure MediaTek\u2019s connectivity portfolio supports the latest Wi-Fi features. Now, in addition to supporting the unlicensed 6GHz band, MediaTek\u2019s portfolio of Wi-Fi 6 chipset solutions with Wi-Fi 6E functionality supports 1024-QAM and OFDMA for enhanced performance, target wake time (TWT) for longer battery life, WPA3 for the highest level of security, and multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) for higher capacity. Plus, MediaTek\u2019s solutions support many of the optional Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6&#x2122; R1 features as well as Wi-Fi CERTIFIED EASYMESH&#x2122; R2 features which has new traffic controls, improved security features, better spectrum optimization and more diagnostic capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MediaTek\u2019s Wi-Fi 6E access point and client products are designed for a variety of market segments, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Broadband products such as home gateways, access points, mesh nodes, and extenders<\/li><li>Retail devices including routers and repeaters<\/li><li>Consumer electronics like voice assistant devices (VAD), TVs and over-the-top (OTT) products including TV sticks<\/li><li>PC devices such as notebooks<\/li><li>5G applications including smartphones, 5G MiFi and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) devices<\/li><li>IoT applications for a wide variety of use cases<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wi-Fi 6 devices with Wi-Fi 6E support offer a number of advantages over previous Wi-Fi generations, including lower latency and additional capacity and speed. Devices utilizing Wi-Fi 6 connections in 6GHz are designed to make use of wide 160 MHz channels and uncongested bandwidth in 6GHz to deliver multigigabit, low latency Wi-Fi for a better connectivity experience. This enables better support for cutting-edge applications such as unified communications, AR\/VR and even holographic video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MediaTek has both an access point wireless solution, MT7915-AP-AX, and a client-side wireless solution, MT7915-STA-AX on the test bed.
