Key benefits
Reduces design overhead
Differentiated use cases by configuring WiLink™ 8 simultaneously in two roles (STA and AP) to connect directly with other Wi-Fi devices on different RF channel (Wi-Fi networks)
Best-in-class Wi-Fi with high-performance audio and video streaming reference applications with up to 1.4× the range versus one antenna
Different provisioning methods for in-home devices' connectivity to Wi-Fi in one step
Lowest Wi-Fi power consumption in connected idle (< 800µA)
Configurable wake on WLAN filters to only wake up the system
