The MT7916AN is a dual – band wireless MAC and baseband ( BB ) chip designed for high – performance wireless networking. Here is a detailed introduction to its functions:
– High – Speed Data Transmission: It supports 2×2 MIMO in the 2.4GHz band with a maximum data rate of 574Mbps in 40MHz bandwidth, and 2×2 MIMO in the 5GHz band with a maximum data rate of 2402Mbps in 160MHz bandwidth. The total network speed can reach 3Gbps.
– Advanced Wireless Technology: It supports 3×3 with 2 spatial streams in the 5/6GHz band and 2×2 with 2 spatial streams in the 2.4GHz band. The additional third antenna can be used for zero – wait DFS and/or MRC, and it supports up to 1024 – QAM modulation, which improves the downlink ( Rx ) transmission performance.
– High – Capacity User Support: It has high – access – point characteristics, which can support up to 24 users through OFDMA, and also support MU – MIMO clients. In addition, it has 512 MAC entries and 16 MBSSIDs, and fully supports the functions of Wi – Fi Alliance Wi – Fi 6 Release 2.
– Energy – Saving and High – Efficiency Design: The chip integrates a hardware – based Wi – Fi offload engine, which can reduce the energy consumption of the router AP when it is connected to the Wi – Fi network, and improve the performance and energy efficiency of the platform.
– Excellent Integration Advantages: It integrates a front – end module ( FEM ), which provides device manufacturers with the advantages of a more compact size and a lower BOM cost.
