Ceva launched next gen Wi-Fi for integration across SoC products
Wireless communications, sensing and edge AI service provider Ceva, Inc. has announced the general release of its next generation RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP platform, further expanding its widely-licensed portfolio of connectivity IP.
According to the company, the platform targets high-end consumer and industrial applications including gateways, TVs, set-top-boxes, streaming media devices, AR/VR headsets, personal computing and smartphones.
The RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP uses features of the IEEE 802.11be standard to deliver a Wi-Fi solution for integration into the next wave of Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) and Station (STA) products.
Andrew Zignani, senior research director, ABI Research, says: “Ceva’s wireless connectivity IPs play an integral role in the proliferation of connectivity standards in the broad IoT markets, as is evident from their customer’s success in shipping more than 1 billion connectivity chips annually.
“With the introduction of their RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP platforms, semiconductor companies and OEMs have a trusted partner to develop differentiated, high-performance Wi-Fi 7 chipsets for their connectivity roadmaps, with lower risk and a lower cost of ownership.”
Ceva has more than 40 licensees for its RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 6 IP family, serving a wide range of end markets and applications, from end points to access points, across the IoT sector.
Tal Shalev, vice president and general manager of the Wireless IoT BU at Ceva, adds: “The relentless expansion of Wi-Fi usage has pushed the Wi-Fi 7 standard to offer enhanced data throughput, improved latency and support more spectrum in the face of mounting network congestion.
“Achieving this requires highly complex, cutting-edge functionalities like 4K QAM modulation, Multi Link Operation and Multi Resource Unit to optimize link efficiency across the available bands. Our RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 7 IP platform incorporates all the features of this latest-generation, wireless standard, dramatically simplifying development and time-to-market for companies looking to add Wi-Fi 7 connectivity to their products.
According to ABI Research, annual Wi-Fi enabled chipset shipments will exceed 5.1 billion by 2028, with more than 1.7 billion of these chipsets supporting the Wi-Fi 7 standard.
