88W8977: 2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band 1x1 Wi-Fi^® 4 (802.11n) + Bluetooth^® 5 Solution

Overview

The 88W8977 System-on-Chip (SoC) is a highly integrated single-chip solution that incorporates both Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) and Bluetooth technology. The IEEE 802.11n compliant dual-band system-on-chip offers Wi-Fi data rates up to MCS 7 (150 Mbit/s). The SoC is specifically designed to support the speed, reliability, and quality requirements of devices such as wearables, Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home applications. The Combo solution provides both simultaneous and independent operation of the IEEE 802.11n compliant 1x1 spatial stream and Bluetooth 5 with high speeds and mesh networking for increased Internet of Things (IoT) functionality.
