Wi-Fi 7
Next-Generation Connectivity
We Live in an Untethered World
We’re among a few select companies working alongside industry alliances and standards committees to help shape the future. We’re pioneering the ecosystem to build and deploy infrastructure for 8K movies, the metaverse, and next-generation gaming.
MaxLinear is at the Center of Wi-Fi Innovation
Wi-Fi 7 is the first standard released to optimize the usage of three bands.
Wi-Fi 7 is built to increase robustness, minimize latency, increase speed to every device at home, including legacy devices, and maximize overall network capacity.
We’ve built our latest Wi-Fi SoC to realize the full potential of Wi-Fi 7.
