Wi-Fi 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6, advances wireless communications yet again – bringing broader coverage for the entire smart home, office building, or outdoor space. Qorvo simplifies Wi-Fi 6 design with device and system solutions for IoT, customer premises equipment, gateways and infrastructure with 802.11ax filtering technologies, integrated front-end modules (iFEMs) and "pod in every room" architecture for distributed Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Mesh).

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is the next evolution in the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard. Promising faster data rates, better coverage in dense urban environments and the home, and support for uplink MIMO, it brings many challenges for Wi-Fi product designers.
Learn what’s most important when designing for this new standard:
With multiple RF standards coexisting with Wi-Fi networks, Qorvo’s BAW (bulk acoustic wave) filter technology helps designers meet system-level specifications in Wi-Fi 6 and 6E while mitigating cross-over interferences. Learn how Qorvo’s Wi-Fi filters solve three challenges in Wi-Fi systems to improve capacity, range and throughput performance while eliminating unexpected degradation.
