Last Updated on May 23, 2022 by Anu Joy

MediaTek has introduced the FiLogic 880 and FiLogic 380 Wi-Fi 7 platform solution for high-bandwidth operators, as well as retail and enterprise applications. These chips will be among the first Wi-Fi 7 solutions, allowing device makers to create practical applications that fully utilize the new protocol. These two chips were released alongside the new Dimensity 1050, Dimensity 930, and Helio G99 SoCs by MediaTek.

The FiLogic 880 is a 6nm chipset (SoC) that provides a stable basis for optimal Wi-Fi and Ethernet performance, as well as packet processing. A Wi-Fi 7 access point, a smart application processor, and a Network Processing Unit (NPU) make up this platform.

Key Wi-Fi 7 technologies such as 4096-QAM, 320MHz, MRU, and MLO are supported by the MediaTek FiLogic 880 platform. It has the ability to scale up to penta-band 36Gbps speeds and supports up to 10Gbps in a single channel. OFDMA RU, MU-MIMO, and MBSSID are also supported.

The FiLogic 380 is a 6nm chip that provides Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity to consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, notebooks, set-top boxes, and OTT streaming sticks. Because MediaTek also supplies the required platform solutions, its dual concurrent 22 capabilities are optimised out of the box for these devices.

Key Wi-Fi 7 features such as 4096-QAM, 320MHz, MRU, and MLO are also supported by the FiLogic 380. The MLO offers up to 6.5Gbps speeds, up to 5Gbps in one channel and the chip comes with support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Dual 22 radios for dual-band simultaneous operation are also supported, as is Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio.

Separately, MediaTek will showcase its Filogic Wi-Fi 7 platform solutions for access points and client ecosystems at Computex 2022, which will take place in Taipei, Taiwan from May 24 to 27.

Speaking on the announcement, Alan Hsu, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Intelligent Connectivity Business at MediaTek, said, “Our wireless connectivity solutions are designed to deliver the fastest performance using the most advanced technologies, and represent MediaTek’s commitment to drive Wi-Fi 7 adoption in a large number of new markets. With Filogic 880 and Filogic 380, our customers can deliver fast, reliable and always-on connected experiences to meet the industry’s growing connectivity demands”.
