Ceva FIRST TO LAUNCH 802.11AX IP – Linley Microprocessor report

The IEEE’s next-generation 802.11ax Wi-Fi specifications are more than a year from ratification, but (as usual) several wireless-chip vendors have already announced pre-standard products. To enable them, DSP-intellectual-property (DSP-IP) specialist Ceva is offering 802.11ax additions to its RivieraWaves Wi-Fi family. Its new RW-AX-series comprises three models targeting a range of products that spans IoT/wearables, mobile devices, access points, and gateways. The company plans to release the RW-AX IP for general licensing by the end of this quarter.
