Wi-Fi has emerged as the most viable alternative to traditional wireline connectivity solutions, such as Ethernet and coaxial cables. It offers the convenience of cable-free connectivity for many devices, such as laptops and televisions, without the constraints of physical attachments. While the peak throughput of Wi-Fi 7 is significantly higher than previous Wi-Fi generations and exceeds the requirements of many applications, users may occasionally experience intermittent jitter during streaming or video conferencing. This indicates Wi-Fi's susceptibility to environmental factors that impact signal quality and consistency.
Consider a typical home scenario during a family gathering where multiple devices are simultaneously connected to Wi-Fi service. This increases the demand for throughput and generates more interference due to the rise in Wi-Fi devices. Wi-Fi uses collision avoidance technology, requiring access points (APs) and clients to wait for a random period before retransmitting if collisions are detected. When numerous devices compete for airtime, this can increase the chance of collisions and slow down users’ Wi-Fi access. In this white paper, we introduce Xtra Speed, a MediaTek Filogic ecosystem suite designed to adaptively enhance Wi-Fi performance not only under these conditions but also during daily use; for example, during peak hours when everyone is using Wi-Fi to access the internet.
- Mesh Boost utilizes Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology in Wi-Fi mesh setups. With multiple APs, the home can better manage high-density environments, even in those tricky corners, ensuring that all family members enjoy smooth internet speeds and real-time communication without delays during gatherings.
MediaTek Mesh Boost increases overall mesh network throughput by over 20%. - Coordinated Spatial Reuse (Co-SR) optimizes the transmission power of multiple APs, achieving optimal throughput while avoiding interference. This means that the various APs in the home will not experience significant interference, allowing family members to benefit from faster web page loading times and seamless downloads.
MediaTek Coordinated Spatial Reuse (Co-SR) increases throughput by up to 30%. - AI Anti-Noise dynamically adjusts the network configuration to adaptively avoid This ensures that the Wi-Fi network remains optimized and delivers an exceptional user experience. Conference calls will no longer suffer from fluctuating connection quality, high latency, or long buffering times, even in areas with a high number of active devices.
MediaTek AI Anti-Noise reduces latency by up to 60%.
The MediaTek Filogic Xtra Speed ecosystem improves performance, offers higher throughput, and reduces latency, ultimately enhancing the user experience and makes every day online activities seamless, and more enjoyable.
