Broadcom Limited announced a new 4x4 802.11ac Wave2 solution which enables significantly better range performance in addition to video over Wi-Fi acceleration capability. The BCM4366E Wave-2 802.11ac 4x4 radio incorporates RangeBoost technology for enhanced Wi-Fi coverage and DoubleZero acceleration technology enabling best-in-class Video over Wi-Fi capability.
Broadcom’s RangeBoost technology provides up to 9 dB of receiver sensitivity improvement by utilizing advanced signal processing techniques coupled with unique receiver architecture. Routers or gateways which incorporate BCM4366E with RangeBoost will benefit from an expanded coverage area and the ability to deliver high internet speeds to smart phones and tablets.
The BCM4366E also implements Broadcom’s DoubleZero Acceleration for wireless video delivery enables zero packet loss and zero host CPU consumption when paired with Broadcom service provider gateway and router SoC platforms.
With DoubleZero Acceleration technology Wi-Fi packets can bypass the host CPU via a hardware acceleration path allowing the host CPU to be fully utilized for other applications including home automation and IOT.
