Filogic Chipset Series Has Wi-Fi 6, 6E Support: MediaTek

MediaTek’s new Filogic series of chipsets, targeted for broadband routers, mesh systems, enterprise access points and retail routers, has Wi-Fi 6 and 6E support, and “ushers in a new era of smart Wi-Fi solutions” with “extreme” speeds, low latency and peak power efficiency, said the chipmaker Thursday. Devices using Wi-Fi 6 connections in the 6 GHz band “are designed to make use of wide 160 MHz channels and uncongested bandwidth” for rendering “multi-gigabit, low latency Wi-Fi,” it said. The Wi-Fi Alliance picked MediaTek as the Wi-Fi 6E test bed in January, said the company.
