WQ9201 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6+BT combo chip targets
consumer electronics products featuring fast data transmission,
such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, TVs, and set-top-boxes
ROCKVILLE,
Md., Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceva, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon and software IP
that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense and infer data
more reliably and efficiently, today announced that WUQI
Microelectronics, a leading semiconductor fabless company focus on
connectivity and edge AI chips, has licensed and deployed the
Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6 High-Performance STA IP platform in its WQ9201
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chip targeting smartphones, tablets, PCs,
TVs, and set-top-boxes. The WQ9201 recently won the prestigious
2024 "China Core" Excellent Technology Innovation Product
Award.
The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi 6 IP provides WUQI with the
industry's smallest footprint and lowest power high-performance
hardware modem and MAC accelerator with FullMAC software protocol
stack, ensuring that WUQI can focus their resources on their key
innovation strengths to create a best-in-class Wi-Fi 6 solution.
Adopting WUQI-proprietary RF dual-band architecture and WUQI's
original low-power CMOS PA technology, WQ9201 supports dual-band
concurrency (DBDC) at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and provides the leading RF
and baseband performance at extremely low power consumption,
achieving high throughput and stable wireless transmission.
"Our award-winning WQ9201 combo chip leverages
the industry-leading performance of Ceva's Wi-Fi 6 IP to deliver
unprecedented Wi-Fi throughput efficiency for demanding HD media
streaming in smart home and consumer electronic devices," said
Qiang Gu, Vice President of Communications & Algorithm and Head
of Wi-Fi Product Line at WUQI. "We're pleased to partner with them
and bring our high-performance combo chip to market."
"Ceva is a key enabler of ubiquitous wireless
connectivity in smart edge devices by lowering the entry barriers
for the development of chipsets embedded with the most popular
wireless standards including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, 802.15.4 and
cellular IoT," said Gweltaz Toquet, Chief Commercial Officer at
Ceva. "WUQI's Wi-Fi / Bluetooth combo chip powered by our IPs
provides module makers, ODMs and OEMs with a compelling option to
bring Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to their products and we look forward to
seeing their success in the market."
