- World’s first single-chip Wi-Fi 7 solution with 12 spatial
streams delivering optimal Multi-Link experience
MaxLinear Inc. (NASDAQ: MXL) today announced the seventh
generation of its Wi-Fi SoC solution targeting service provider
gateways, Wi-Fi routers, and access points. The highly-integrated
Wi-Fi 7 family of chips offers an industry-first single-SoC
solution that delivers more than 70% higher tri-band throughput
verses Wi-Fi 6. The chips are currently sampling to selected
partners and MaxLinear-enabled products are expected in 2023.

“Our Wi-Fi 7 single-chip solution enables fast, robust, and
reliable connectivity elevating the user experience,” said Will
Torgerson, vice president and general manager, Broadband group for
MaxLinear. “We help our partners reduce complexity, drive
form-factor innovation, and spend less time designing next
generation gateways, routers and access points.”
Wi-Fi 7 - also called Extremely High Throughput (EHT) - is one
of the most significant Wi-Fi upgrades to date. Built on the IEEE
802.11be standard, it delivers 11.5Gbps of peak throughput on the
6GHz spectrum. This makes the throughput more than twice as fast as
the previous generation, Wi-Fi 6. This increase is accomplished by
doubling the bandwidth to 320MHz and enhancing the modulation to
4096 QAM.
Making the untethered experience more robust, Multi-Link
Operation (MLO) is another marquee Wi-Fi 7 feature which enables
channel aggregation to deliver lower latency and higher throughput
in congested environments.
MaxLinear Wi-Fi 7 advantages include:
- Lowers total system cost and development time: Single
chip reduces total Bill of Material (BOM) and board complexity,
with less time spent on thermal, mechanical, and PCB designs.
Single chip also drives smaller form-factor which enables system
integrators to build more elegant product designs.
- Provides seamless, coordinated view of multi-bands for
optimal MLO experience: Single chip has one coordinated view of
data flows across multiple channels in dual- and tri-band
configurations for faster recovery from retransmissions during
interference. This improves link robustness and client efficiency,
enables deterministic latency and higher throughput for demanding
high-bandwidth applications in heavily congested environments like
Multi-Dwelling Units.
- Enhances network efficiency with “On-the-fly MAC”:
MaxLinear’s improved proprietary “on-the-fly MAC” architecture
optimizes large and small packet scheduling and performance. It
reduces the overheads in the data path and enables quick recovery
from data retransmissions during interference.
- Reduces dead spots with dedicated chain for ZWFDS:
Provides seamless operations in DFS channels while adhering to
stringent DFS (re)entry rules. Delivers uncompromised 4x4 range and
performance reducing dead spots while offering best-in-class user
experience.
When used with MaxLinear’s gateway and access products, AnyWAN™,
the solution can be highly optimized to deliver unparalleled
performance, maintaining quality of service end-to-end, and
delivering line-rate throughputs inside and outside of the
home.
The Wi-Fi 7 Family consists of two chips: The MxL31712 and the
MxL31708. The MxL31712 is targeted for premium segment 4x4 tri-band
market targeting throughput up to 18.6Gbps. The MxL31708 is
targeted for mid- to high-range 4x4 dual-band market targeting
throughput up to 17Gbps.
Common features applicable to both chips include:
- Single chip WFA Wi-Fi 7 R1 certifiable
- Based on IEEE 802.11be (EHT); backward compliant to IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax
- Support Key Wi-Fi 7 features such as:
- Bandwidth up to 320MHz
- 4096 QAM modulation
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
- Multi Resource Unit (MRU)
- Dedicated antenna for Zero Wait DFS (ZWDFS)
- Enhanced Network Efficiency
- DPD
- Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) support
- Fully offloaded Wi-Fi traffic
- Coexistence support for PAN radios
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen4

“The number of Wi-Fi connected devices at home and at the office
is skyrocketing and will continue to do so as we move to Wi-Fi 7
and its greater capacity, speed, and reliability. Wi-Fi 7 will
enable a whole new level of connectivity for smart home
applications such as the metaverse, security, and 24/7 elder
monitoring,” said Chris Depuy, Technology Analyst at 650 Group.
“Wi-Fi 7 represents one of the biggest improvements in the
technology standard to date, taking full advantage of key
throughput and reliability features such as Multi-Link Operation,
320MHz in the 6 GHz band, and more.”
“Lower latency, increased reliability, and gigabit speed will be
the hallmarks of Wi-Fi 7. Homes, enterprise, and consumers will
surely reap the benefits of Wi-Fi 7 and from MaxLinear’s ability to
maximize next-gen potential with their highly integrated solution.
As a valued WBA Member, we applaud MaxLinear’s continued commitment
to innovative solutions for next generation Wi-Fi,” said Tiago
Rodrigues, CEO, Wireless Broadband Alliance.
