CEVA has announced that its RivieraWaves WiFi 6 IP platform has achieved WiFi CERTIFIED 6 Status from the WiFi Alliance. CEVA offers a complete suite of WiFi 6 IPs, spanning 1x1 20MHz for low power IoT devices through to MIMO 80/160MHz WiFi 6 and 6E for higher end products including smartphones, smart TVs, access points and wireless infrastructure.

CEVA’s WiFi 6 IPs have already been licensed to multiple semiconductor companies and OEMs for upcoming products.

Ange Aznar, Vice President and General Manager of the Wireless IoT Business Unit at CEVA, stated: "We are proud to yet again be the first IP provider in the world to achieve certification from the WiFi Alliance for our latest RivieraWaves WiFi 6 solution. WiFi 6 is set to have a huge role in the expansion of the Internet of Things in the coming years, with its inherent low power design and high throughput being ideal for IoT devices.

“By taking our IP through the certification process, it provides our customers with a low risk path to integrating WiFi 6 connectivity into their chip designs and we look forward to sharing their success in this burgeoning space.”

The WiFi CERTIFIED 6 certification is designed to distinguish WiFi 6 products and networks that meet the highest standards for security and interoperability to deliver exceptional end user experiences and wireless stability. WiFi CERTIFIED 6 products provide significant capacity, performance and latency improvements to the entire WiFi ecosystem, while ensuring that solutions from multiple vendors interoperate to help enable greater innovation and opportunity.

The RivieraWaves WiFi IP family offers a comprehensive suite of IPs and platforms for embedding WiFi connectivity into SoCs/ASSPs addressing a broad range of applications. The RivieraWaves WiFi 6 IPs are aimed at the vast array of media-sharing consumer devices including smartphones, tablets, cameras and smart home products.

These are the industry’s smallest footprint and lowest power but high performance WiFi IPs compliant with WiFi 6 1x1 & 2x2. They consist of WiFi 6 MAC and Modem, available in both 1x1 SISO and 2x2 MIMO configurations. They are provided with LMAC (aka thinMAC) for use with linux/Android mac80211 UMAC, LMAC+UMAC (aka FullMAC) and LMAC+UMAC integrated into FreeRTOS (aka FullyHosted) software protocol stacks.

They are provided with an integration-ready processor and operating-system- agnostic platform, simplifying deployment in SoC/ASSP designs. The WiFi software protocol stacks can be executed on any processor such as ARM, RISC-V, ARC, Andes and others.

The RivieraWaves WiFi 6 platforms can be used in a standalone single chip or integrated into a bigger System on Chip (SoC) such as application processor, baseband processor, or multistandard wireless combos.
