Intel® Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV600 Series
Wi-Fi 6 Solution for Home Networks
Intel’s 6th Generation Wi-Fi Chipset based on the 802.11ax standard
Wi-Fi 6, based on the 802.11ax standard, is the next
major advancement in Wi-Fi technology and will increase
network eciency, deliver faster throughput, and improve
coverage in dense environments. Intel is oering Wi-Fi 6
chipsets for home Wi-Fi routers, gateways, and intelligent
range extenders in cable, xDSL, ber, and consumer retail
infrastructure, which are designed to deliver both fast and
consistent connectivity.
The Intel® Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV600 Series is designed
to Draft 3.0 of the IEEE 802.11ax standard, supports Gigabit
Wi-Fi, is future proofed for Wi-Fi 6 clients, and provides the
ability to connect up to 256 clients simultaneously, enabling
a high-quality user experience for a growing number of
connected devices in the home. The Wi-Fi chipsets are
optimized for the Intel® AnyWAN™ SoCs and the Intel® Puma™
7 Family to fully ooad the wireless trac with zero CPU
utilization. This frees up the CPU performance for advanced
services such as security, analytics, photo/video hosting, and
parental controls while delivering a consistent user experience.
Speed: Gigabit Wi-Fi
Gigabit Wi-Fi makes it possible to connect, stream, and
download faster. Routers and gateways based on the Intel
Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV600 Series can deliver Gigabit
Wi-Fi speeds today to PCs based on 8th Generation Intel®
Core™ processors with integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi. They are
also future proofed for PCs with Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) for
the next generation of Gigabit Wi-Fi that will enable
high-quality user experiences.
MU-MIMO, Target Wake Time (TWT), 4x Symbol Duration,
spatial reuse/BSS Coloring, and higher modulation (1024
QAM), thereby improving network performance and eciency.
The WAV600 Series is also engineered to deliver enhanced
throughput rates for a mix of small and large packet sizes. This
helps ensure optimal performance for devices and low latency
for applications like gaming, video, and voice calls.
Scalability: More bandwidth for clients
Consumers are connecting a growing number of devices in
the home. The WAV600 Series can handle this increase, with
the ability to support up to 256 clients simultaneously and
optimize each transmission to enhance the total network
eciency. The combination of wireless functionality ooad,
robust interference rejection through the use of advanced
radio frequency technology, and various algorithms for
airtime fairness, intelligent band steering technologies, and
intelligent queue management enable high-quality user
experiences when there are simultaneous video and data
transmissions to and from clients.
Performance: Improved speed and network
eciency in dense environments
Designed to Draft 3.0 of the IEEE 802.11ax standard, the
WAV600 Series delivers speeds up to 4.8 Gbps in the 5 GHz
band and 1.14 Gbps in 2.4 GHz band. It oers support for
key features, such as 160Mhz, OFDMA (uplink and downlink),
