Broadcom’s RangeBoost technology provides up to 9 dB of receiver sensitivity improvement by utilizing advanced signal processing techniques coupled with unique receiver architecture. Routers or gateways which incorporate BCM4366E with RangeBoost will benefit from an expanded coverage area and the ability to deliver high internet speeds to smart phones and tablets.
The BCM4366E also implements Broadcom’s DoubleZero Acceleration for wireless video delivery enables zero packet loss and zero host CPU consumption when paired with
With DoubleZero Acceleration technology Wi-Fi packets can bypass the host CPU via a hardware acceleration path allowing the host CPU to be fully utilized for other applications including home automation and IOT. Since wireless video is fully offloaded from the host CPU, it eliminates the possibility of video packet loss due to contention for limited CPU resources. Broadcom’s unique system level approach tightly integrates the gateway SoC with the WLAN radio enabling performance and cost benefits not otherwise achievable.
Broadcom BCM4366E Solution Benefits
- RangeBoost substantially improves Wi-Fi signal reception allowing Wi-Fi clients to connect further at higher speeds while reducing dead spots
- DoubleZero Acceleration helps guarantee zero packet loss for wireless video delivery by ensuring video packets aren’t competing for limited host CPU resources
- Host CPU is freed from Wi-Fi processing allowing available CPU cycles to be utilized to run other applications or reserved for future proofing
“Enhanced Wi-Fi coverage and enablement of reliable wireless video delivery have become universal requirements across our OEM and service provider customer base,” said
Broadcom will be demonstrating the BCM4366E solution at Broadband World Forum in London, October 18-20, 2016, Meeting Room #36.
