Broadcom Introduces Wi-Fi 6 Chip for Mass-Market Smartphones
25 Février 2019 - 10:00AM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the BCM43752 chip,
which extends the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 to the broader smartphone
market where high performance and total solution cost are equally
important design considerations. The BCM43752 is a highly
integrated chip that brings together the latest innovations in
Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 innovations to offer smartphone makers a
low-cost, high-performance connectivity solution for their mass
market products.
The BCM43752 supports key Wi-Fi 6 innovations including OFDMA
and MU-MIMO technologies for better performance in crowded
environments, advanced roaming capabilities supporting multi-band
operation (MBO), and WPA3 security protocols. With these new
features, the BCM43752 brings steady, high-speed Wi-Fi and
unprecedented quality of service to the mass smartphone market,
adding to the ever-growing Wi-Fi 6 ecosystem of access points and
routers in homes, offices and high-traffic
venues.
The BCM43752 significantly reduces smartphone bill of materials
by integrating RF components such as power amplifiers (PAs) and
low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) into the device. In addition, it is
engineered to support “chip-on-board” designs providing further
cost reduction opportunities for manufacturers. Different packaging
options for the chip also create flexibility for phone designers to
balance space constraints, cost and radio performance.
“Broadcom strives to bring leading connectivity technologies to
smartphone users across the globe,” said Vijay Nagarajan, vice
president of marketing for the Wireless Communications and
Connectivity Division at Broadcom. “After recently enabling the
World’s first Wi-Fi 6 phone, we now bring the sixth generation
Wi-Fi technology to the broader phone market with the BCM43752. The
high degree of integration and the design flexibility that the chip
offers makes it an ideal candidate for the mass market smartphone.
With the BCM43752, Broadcom also completes a well-rounded Wi-Fi 6
product portfolio that spans the infrastructure and phone
markets.”
“Broadcom's BCM43752 Wi-Fi 6 / Bluetooth 5 combo has reduced
costs by going down to single core, 2X2 MIMO for Wi-Fi, integrating
the PAs and LNAs, and offering flexible package options while
keeping the same functionality as their flagship combo chip,” said
Phil Solis, research director at IDC. “As a lower-cost, yet higher
performing solution, this chip is well-suited for the mid-tier
smartphone market.”
