Driven by continuous advances in communication technologies and iterative upgrades of Wi-Fi specifications, wireless routers have undergone generational upgrades from Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 in recent years, creating a perfect opportunity for Wi-Fi 6 to gain widespread adoption among terminal devices. Technically, Wi-Fi 6 delivers drastically boosted data throughput and supports more connected terminals, satisfying end-users' demands for high-speed data transmission, especially for HD and UHD video contents.
AltoBeam has launched its newly self-developed, fully IP-owned Wi-Fi 6 chip family, the ATBM6062 series. Supporting single-antenna IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax (Wi-Fi 6), ATBM6062 incorporates exclusive Wi-Fi 6 features including OFDMA and TWT to substantially elevate user experience.
ATBM6062 Wi-Fi 6 chip series feature prominent technical strengths as detailed below:
High-Speed Transmission - Compliant with MCS0 to MCS11 modulation modes defined by the Wi-Fi 6 standard, ATBM6062 supports up to 1024QAM modulation/demodulation at the physical layer with Max. PHY rate of 287Mbps. Its measured maximum throughput is nearly double that of legacy Wi-Fi 4 solutions. In terms of RF specifications, it also delivers substantially improved performance, enabling higher data rate transmission over longer distance.
Efficient Data Delivery - ATBM6062 implements core Wi-Fi 6 technologies including OFDMA and MU-MIMO, which are already widely deployed in 5G mobile communications. These technologies expand overall Wi-Fi channel capacity and spectrum efficiency, enabling routers to host a substantially larger number of connected end devices while cutting inter-device transmission latency for optimized networking experience.
Extended-Range Connectivity - Equipped with advanced Wi-Fi 6 functionalities such as LDPC coding/decoding, Beamforming, Extended Range Single User (ER-SU) frame structure and Dual Carrier Modulation (DCM), ATBM6062 achieves greatly improved receiving sensitivity and transceiver robustness under complex network conditions versus Wi-Fi 4, resulting in significantly expanded wireless coverage.
AltoBeam has been contributing to the development and popularization of high-tech chips across several segmented industry sectors, and won the First Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2016. In 2022, AltoBeam's Wi-Fi chip shipments ranked among the world's top-tier suppliers in the single-antenna Wi-Fi 4 segment for smart TVs and wireless security cameras. Its ultra-low-power ATBM6441 Wi-Fi chip is extensively integrated into battery-powered cameras, smart video doorbells and other smart home hardware for global export. Battery-powered terminal products equipped with ATBM6441 have won wide acclaim from numerous consumers thanks to their low power consumption and long transmission range. The release of ATBM6062 series marks another key milestone on AltoBeam's Wi-Fi product roadmap. After years of intensive R&D, the firm has further completed its proprietary Wi-Fi IP portfolio and is poised to spearhead the industry-wide migration from Wi-Fi 4 to Wi-Fi 6. It signifies that after years of intensive R&D, AltoBeam has further improved its portfolio of proprietary intellectual property rights in the Wi-Fi and will spearhead the industry-wide upgrade from Wi-Fi 4 to Wi-Fi 6. 2023 will also be a historic year for the development of AltoBeam. The company will accelerate the launch of multiple new Wi-Fi chips, so stay tuned.
