Product brief Connected Home Intel Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV600 Series Wi-Fi 6 Solution for Home Networks Intels 6th Generation Wi-Fi Chipset based on the 802.11ax standard Wi-Fi 6, based on the 802.11ax standard, is the next MU-MIMO, Target Wake Time (TWT), 4x Symbol Duration, major advancement in Wi-Fi technology and will increase spatial reuse/BSS Coloring, and higher modulation (1024 network efficiency, deliver faster throughput, and improve QAM), thereby improving network performance and efficiency. coverage in dense environments. Intel is offering Wi-Fi 6 The WAV600 Series is also engineered to deliver enhanced chipsets for home Wi-Fi routers, gateways, and intelligent throughput rates for a mix of small and large packet sizes. This range extenders in cable, xDSL, fiber, and consumer retail helps ensure optimal performance for devices and low latency infrastructure, which are designed to deliver both fast and for applications like gaming, video, and voice calls. consistent connectivity. Scalability: More bandwidth for clients The Intel Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV600 Series is designed Consumers are connecting a growing number of devices in to Draft 3.0 of the IEEE 802.11ax standard, supports Gigabit the home. The WAV600 Series can handle this increase, with Wi-Fi, is future proofed for Wi-Fi 6 clients, and provides the the ability to support up to 256 clients simultaneously and ability to connect up to 256 clients simultaneously, enabling optimize each transmission to enhance the total network a high-quality user experience for a growing number of efficiency. The combination of wireless functionality offload, connected devices in the home. The Wi-Fi chipsets are robust interference rejection through the use of advanced optimized for the Intel AnyWAN SoCs and the Intel Puma radio frequency technology, and various algorithms for 7 Family to fully ooffl ad the wireless traffic with zero CPU airtime fairness, intelligent band steering technologies, and utilization. This frees up the CPU performance for advanced intelligent queue management enable high-quality user services such as security, analytics, photo/video hosting, and experiences when there are simultaneous video and data parental controls while delivering a consistent user experience. transmissions to and from clients. Speed: Gigabit Wi-Fi Gigabit Wi-Fi makes it possible to connect, stream, and download faster. Routers and gateways based on the Intel Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV600 Series can deliver Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds today to PCs based on 8th Generation Intel Core processors with integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi. They are also future proofed for PCs with Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) for the next generation of Gigabit Wi-Fi that will enable high-quality user experiences. Performance: Improved speed and network ecffi iency in dense environments Designed to Draft 3.0 of the IEEE 802.11ax standard, the WAV600 Series delivers speeds up to 4.8 Gbps in the 5 GHz band and 1.14 Gbps in 2.4 GHz band.
