MediaTek today announced availability of its MT7650, the first
802.11ac plus Bluetooth 4.0+HS combo chip designed for mobile consumer platforms.
The MediaTek
MT7650 combines the latest IEEE 802.11ac technology,
Bluetooth 4.0 LE functionality, and the company's
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence algorithm onto
a single die to support voice, data and
video transmissions up to 433 Mbps, while enabling
low power Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity with health,
fitness and other sensors.
The MediaTek MT7650 improves user experience
with 2.8x data rate increase from 150Mbps of single
stream 802.11n. Thed chip supports dual
band 2.4/5GHz configuration with 80 MHz channel
bandwidth, 256-QAM modulation scheme for increased data
transfer efficiency, receive beam forming for extended
range and capacity, and Space-Time Block Codes (STBC)
coding technologies for better wireless coverage. The
chip also supports Wi-Fi Display, Wi-Fi Direct and TDLS
for full peer-to-peer functionalities between mobile and
home consumer products.
