Earlier this year, MediaTek also announced the launch of its first WiFi 7 wireless connectivity chip, the Filic 880 and the Filic 380.

The MediaTek Filogic 880 is a 6nm SoC that provides a comprehensive platform that "combines Wi-Fi 7 with powerful APs and NPUs to support maximum Wi-Fi, Ethernet and packet processing performance".

MediaTek claims it's "an industry-best router and gateway solution for the carrier, retail and enterprise markets."

The Filogic 880 adopts a scalable architecture and can support five-band 4x4 MIMO technology (Multi-input Multi-output multiple-input multiple-output technology) with a maximum rate of 36Gbps. In addition, it supports a "broad range" of interfaces and peripherals, so it can be adapted to a variety of use cases and customized for all applications.

The Filogic 380 is also a 6nm chip, but it is relatively more in line with everyone's expectations, especially since it supports a variety of common consumer electronics applications, such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, laptops, set-top boxes and OTT TV sticks. etc. to bring Wi-Fi-7 and Bluetooth 5.3 support.

Filic 380 supports dual concurrent 2×2, and MediaTek also provides corresponding platform solutions for the above products.

MediaTek believes that it is optimistic about the development prospects of WiFi 7, and it is estimated that the output value of semiconductors, components and terminal products will reach 770 billion Taiwan dollars in the next five years.

The average person has more than 6 WiFi devices, and he estimates that between 2024 and 2029, WiFi 7 will be mainly used in wireless networks, mobile phones, broadband wireless and consumer electronics.
