CL1300 Wi-Fi SoC

802.11 4x4 Implicit Beam Forming MIMO SoC for multiple HD streams over Wi-Fi

Celeno’s innovative Wi-Fi System on a Chip (SoC) reflects a fresh technological approach to HD video streaming, optimizing Wi-Fi to achieve carrier-grade performance. Celeno’s technology introduces significant range, robustness and throughput improvements, for effective HD video streaming over standard Wi-Fi.
Celeno’s solutions enable applications such as IPTV residential gateway to Set Top Box connectivity, multi-room DVR content distribution to multiple terminals around the house, and Internet and PC multimedia and entertainment content distribution.

Powered by its patent pending OptimizAIR™ transmit-side, client agnostic technology, Celeno’s silicon solutions offer significant benefits:

• Extreme range and coverage improvements, yielding an effective coverage for robust HD video streaming of 10,000 sq. feet in North America or 500 sq. meters in Europe - up to 10 times that of off-the-shelf 802.11n MIMO draft 2.0 solutions
• Throughput improvements with zero packet error rate - up to twice that of off-the-shelf 802.11n MIMO draft 2.0 solutions
• Optimized solution cost structure and future proof architecture – ground breaking performance independent of the client’s Wi-Fi chipset and antenna design (even with single stream, single antenna clients)
• Multiple reference designs for various product configurations and flexible deployment options including a complete reference design for a high performance Wireless Video Extender

CL1300 SoC Highlights

• 4Tx4R Implicit (client agnostic) Beam forming MIMO to improve signal strength at the receiver client by 400%
