Marvell Debuts 802.11ax Concurrent Dual Wi-Fi Solution

Marvell today introduced the industry's first high-efficiency wireless 802.11ax solution with 2x2 plus 2x2 concurrent dual Wi-Fi , dual-mode Bluetooth 5/Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.11p for connected vehicles.

The new 88Q9098 combo solution enables gigabit-level performance, superior reliability, and enhanced security for the car and extends Marvell's leadership in providing comprehensive 802.11ax solutions. Marvell's innovative concurrent dual Wi-Fi architecture sets a new technology precedent, integrating two complete Wi-Fi subsystems into a single SoC, and enabling two independent 2x2 data streams to run concurrently and at full throughput. One use case demanding this capability is when one Wi-Fi radio is dedicated to mobile phone projection while the other is streaming video to and from mobile/accessory devices in the car. The 88Q9098 enables reuse of a single solution across infotainment and telematics applications, delivering market-leading multimedia streaming, secure over-the-air updates, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and hot-spot functionality.

"As an industry leader in automotive networking and connectivity, Marvell is accelerating access to the industry's most advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. The Marvell 88Q9098 delivers the industry's first 802.11ax concurrent dual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 and 802.11p combo solution designed for the feature, security, and quality needs of the automotive market," said Mark Montierth, vice president and general manager, Wireless Connectivity Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor.
