Overview

The CL8060 is a high-performing, highly integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) R2 single PCIe chip that delivers the best Wi-Fi network performance for its size by combining two Wi-Fi 6 radios into a single 11mm x 11mm PCIe chip. The chip employs a disruptive concurrent dual-band (5GHz & 2.4GHz), dual-function, dual transceiver 4T4R+2T2R (total of 6T6R ) MIMO architecture, that can drive up to 5.4Gbps PHY / Data Link Speed for concurrent dual-band operation in a single chip. The two independent radios can function as an access point, client, or as repeater.

CL8060 integrates dual MAC, dual PHY, analog, and RFIC in a single package, including the required CPUs and memories to run more of the wireless LAN functions on-chip, eliminating the need for costly external memories. Interface to the host is over a dual-lane PCIe 3.0 interface.

The CL8040 is designed to support standard-based features addressing security, quality of service, and international regulation, as well as above-standard integrated value-add functionalities based on Renesas’s embedded and edge software technologies.
