SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell® (NASDAQ:MRVL) today announced its fully
compliant 802.11ax products will be branded Wi-Fi 6 as introduced
earlier by Wi-Fi Alliance®. The 802.11ax standard
significantly improves reliability and performance for the upload
and download of data, especially in ever-increasing user dense
environments such as the workplace, home and automobile. Marvell
offers a full portfolio of true Wi-Fi 6 solutions — including 8x8,
4x4 and 2x2 radios — targeted at enterprise and retail access
points, carrier gateways, automotive and premium home markets.
In the race to be the first to market with Wi-Fi 6 products,
some companies are offering draft solutions which claim compliance
but fall short of the complete 802.11ax requirements, causing
market confusion, incompatibilities and early obsolescence. A
complete implementation of Wi-Fi 6 will deliver the highest
throughput and lowest latency by enabling multiple users to
simultaneously transfer data for both upload and download. The
Marvell Wi-Fi 6 solutions fully implement MU-MIMO and OFDMA for
upload and download and deliver the highest performance for the
user.
"In December, Marvell announced the sampling of the industry's
most complete 802.11ax wireless solutions. We are now in early
production of these products which fully implement Wi-Fi 6 for the
industry's highest performance," said Mark
Montierth, vice president and general manager, Wireless
Connectivity Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor.
"Consumers are demanding smarter, faster and higher bandwidth
wireless systems able to cope with the new data intensive
applications and services they have come to expect 24/7 access to.
Businesses need to ensure they are thoroughly vetting the
technologies they deploy to ensure they satisfy both the MU-MIMO
and OFDMA criteria that these new Wi-Fi 6 technologies will
demand," said Andrew Zignani, senior
analyst at ABI Research.
"Wi-Fi Alliance is pleased to see one of our long-time members,
Marvell, supporting Wi-Fi 6," said Kevin
Robinson, VP of Marketing, Wi-Fi Alliance. "Using Wi-Fi 6
terminology in products will help users better understand the
experience they should expect to receive from Wi-Fi."
