The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi platforms comprise hardware modem PHY IP that supports DSSS, CCK, OFDM and OFDMA modulations; optimized MAC IP that offloads MAC functions from the CPU; and a comprehensive selection of MAC protocol software stacks. The IP and software elements are further organized into three main solution profiles.

• Wi-Fi IoT is for energy-efficient low-bandwidth connectivity for IoT devices, supporting 2.4GHz single band or dual/triple bands on 2.4/5/6 GHz for IEEE 802.11n, ax, or be (Wi-Fi 4, 6 or 7).
• Wi-Fi High-Performance supports up to 160 MHz bands at 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz in either single-antenna or 2×2 MIMO mode for IEEE 802.11ax or be (Wi-Fi 6 or 7), and is intended for consumer media-streaming applications.
• Wi-Fi Access Point supports 160 MHz bands and 2×2 MIMO for IEEE 802.11ax or be (Wi-Fi 6/6E/7), for applications such as media access points, gateways, and small-cell offload that must support up to hundreds of clients.

The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi platforms include a coexistence interface that permits highly efficient operation with the Ceva-Waves Bluetooth platforms.

The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi platforms give SoC designers a field-proven, fast and low-risk path to implementing a wide range of Wi-Fi subsystems in an SoC. The optimized, area- and power-efficient hardware IP allow highly cost-effective low-power narrow-band solutions for IoT applications, powerful multi-user broadband MIMO hubs for high throughput, and many points in between. All these solutions share a system design kit, vastly easing design and support for a broad Wi-Fi SoC product line. MAC protocol stacks are field-proven and CPU/OS-agnostic, and support IEEE 802.11a, b, g, n, ax, and be. The Ceva-Waves Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence interface allows arbitration of radio use between services, vastly simplifying multi-protocol SoC design and improving end performance.
