Aquantia announced it is closely working with Qualcomm Technologies Inc. to support the design and implementation of next generation Wi-Fi 6 routers, access points and gateways based on the forthcoming 802.11ax standard and which integrate Aquantia’s Ethernet connectivity technology. This new breed of Wi-Fi devices featuring Aquantia technologies offers data-rates that far exceed legacy gigabit, in most cases with the integration of 5Gb and 10Gb Ethernet ports on these platforms. In order for new platforms to fully utilize the power of Wi-Fi 6, OEMs need to move beyond the bottleneck of gigabit Ethernet to Multi-Gig technology. The ever-growing number of Wi-Fi devices, fueled by the rapid expansion of the IoT, require platforms that can manage high usage, increased data traffic and a wide variety of applications and services. The next generation network needs to support that dense connectivity and variability with increased capacity and efficiency over both Wi-Fi and the wired Multi-Gig backhaul.
