Telecom Lead Asia: MediaTek, a fabless semiconductor
company for wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions, announced
the availability of MT7650.
MediaTek’s MT7650 combines the latest IEEE 802.11ac technology,
Bluetooth 4.0 LE functionality, and the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence algorithm
onto a single die to support high quality voice, data and video transmissions
up to 433 Mbps.
With the latest 802.11ac, the MediaTek MT7650 overcomes
these challenges and allows consumers to stream and transfer heavy contents
between mobile and home consumer devices much faster and much more reliable
with ultra low power consumptions,” said SR Tsai, general manager of MediaTek’s
wireless connectivity & networking business unit.
Moreover, with the complete 802.11ac system
(MAC/Baseband/Radio) integrated, customers adopting the MediaTek MT7650 also
benefit from easier implementation, faster time to market and reduced
manufacturing costs.
The MediaTek MT7650 is compliant with the new 802.11ac
standard and leverages the strengths of MediaTek’s Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth combo
chip technologies that are currently shipping in laptops and smartphones.
The company said that its MT7650 improves user experience
with 2.8x data rate increase from 150Mbps of single stream 802.11n.
The MediaTek MT7650 features dual band 2.4/5GHz single
stream 802.11ac support for up to 433 Mbps data rate (HT80) with antenna
diversity. It supports Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Display and compliant with
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Bluetooth 3.0 + HS and Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
Furthermore, MT7650 supports single antenna configuration
for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals to reduce system design cost. The chip supports
Windows 7, Windows 8 and Linux.
