Infineon Technologies AIROC™ CYW5557x Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band/BLUETOOTH 5 SoCs
Infineon Technologies AIROC™ CYW5557x Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band/BLUETOOTH® 5 SoCs (System-on-Chip) offer seamless IoT connectivity while delivering high performance and conserving power. Supporting Wi-Fi 6/6E features with Tri-band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz) capability, the CYW5557x is available in both 1x1 single-input, single-output (SISO) and 2x2 multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) configurations. The highly integrated SoCs deliver high-quality video/audio streaming and a seamless gaming experience in congested network environments. Operating in the 6G spectrum, these SoCs significantly reduce latency.
The AIROC™ CYW5557x provides the technical benefits of Wi-Fi 6 – including increased communications range, robustness, and increased battery life. These IoT Wi-Fi chips with Wi-Fi 6E support allow leading products access to the uncongested 6GHz spectrum.
