WiLink 8.0 Key Benefits
Best-in-class Wi-Fi for mobile applications: WiLink 8 solutions are available for all Wi-Fi throughput ranges, either using 2x2 MIMO or SISO 40MHz. Capable of reaching more than 100Mbps Wi-Fi TCP throughput on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the chips promise the fastest mobile streaming and high-definition (HD) mobile video capabilities, including Wi-Fi Direct™ and wireless display – all with low latency, low power consumption, and open source software support. WiLink 8.0 chips with integrated Wi-Fi MIMO yield 25 percent smaller size and 50 percent power savings as compared to other MIMO solutions.
Industry's first integrated NFC controller solution As the first combo chip family to embed a complete NFC controller solution, WiLink 8.0 devices make NFC integration possible – and more simplified – on any mobile device. The WiLink 8.0 combo chip with integrated NFC yields a more then 50 percent size reduction as compared to non-combo solutions, and is paired with best-in-class secure element solutions for highly protected transactions.
Ubiquitous positioning, always-aware hybrid location: Beyond standard GPS and GLONASS receivers, the WiLink 8.0 GNSS core includes a complete position engine on chip. This dramatically reduces system-level power consumption and enables host-independent, on-chip geo-fencing and location buffering for enhanced context awareness. WiLink 8.0 solutions blend superior GNSS and Wi-Fi sensor systems, complimented by Bluetooth low energy, ANT+ and NFC augmentation, to provide best-in-class positioning.
