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.
