ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CEVA), the leading licensor of wireless connectivity and smart
sensing technologies and integrated IP solutions, today announced
the latest member of its widely adopted RivieraWaves Wi-Fi IP
family, the RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 6 Access Point (AP) IP.
Addressing the expansion of Wi-Fi 6 into the smart home,
industrial, automotive and IoT markets, and the growing need for
high bit rate, low latency connectivity in emerging consumer and
enterprise applications, the RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 6 Access Point (AP)
IP leverages all the latest advanced features of the IEEE 802.11ax
standard to deliver a premium Wi-Fi user experience in today's
device-dense home / office / factory.
Wi-Fi 6 is on the cusp of mass global adoption and is on track
to displace Wi-Fi 5 (i.e., IEEE 802.11ac) by 2023 as the dominant
form of consumer Wi-Fi. ABI Research forecasts more than 1 billion
consumer, enterprise and carrier Wi-Fi access points to ship
between 2022 and 2026, the vast majority of which will be based on
the Wi-Fi 6/6E standards.
The modern home and office environment is a sea of high
bandwidth clients such as phones, laptops, tablets, gaming
stations, smart TVs and set-top boxes, plus an increasing army of
IoT devices spanning smart appliances, lights, plugs, thermostats,
video doorbells and many more. In addition, Industry 4.0 use cases,
such as manufacturing and factory automation, demand a
cost-effective, low-latency, high-performance indoor connectivity
in challenging environments. The innovations inherent in Wi-Fi 6
make it ideal for such heterogeneous ultra-high concurrency
environments. Advanced features such as multi-user OFDMA
(orthogonal frequency division multiple access) downlink and uplink
as well as Multi-User MIMO, deliver incredible performance,
efficiency and low latency. Further, with the new 6GHz spectrum
resource opened by Wi-Fi 6E, super-high throughput with 160HMz
bandwidth connections is realistic even in congested
environments.
The RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 6 Access Point IP delivers
a complete digital PHY and MAC layers solution for IEEE 802.11ax in
a 2x2 configuration, supporting up to 160MHz bandwidth and a
throughput of up to 2401Mbps (at MCS11-2SS-160MHz). It supports a
comprehensive toolbox of AES-CCM /GCMP, RC4 and WPI crypto
accelerators but also some key features to enhance medium usage
like the preamble puncturing, target wake time (TWT), fragmentation
and 1024 QAM. An advanced PTA function ensures smooth co-existence
with Bluetooth. The flexible radio interface unit enables
integration with radio circuitry from multiple CEVA partners or
licensee's own radio, including with radios that support 6GHz for
Wi-Fi 6E. To simplify deployment in SoC/ASSP designs, the
RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 6 Access Point IP is provided with an
integration-ready platform containing an optional open-source
RISC-V processor and is operating-system-agnostic.
Tal Shalev, Vice President and
General Manager of the Wireless IoT Business Unit at CEVA,
commented: "Addressing the tremendous growth opportunities for high
performance access points in the home, office, enterprise and
industrial environments, our RivieraWaves Wi-Fi 6 Access Point IP
lowers the entry barriers and accelerates time-to-market for
developing Wi-Fi 6/6E Access Point SoCs. We are experiencing strong
demand from semiconductors and OEMs for this latest IP, with
multiple licensees already signed. We look forward to seeing
CEVA-powered Wi-Fi6/6E Access Point products in the market in the
near future."
