MT6990V

  • The MT6990V is a wireless communication chip developed by MediaTek, designed to provide high-performance connectivity solutions, particularly for applications that require efficient and reliable wireless communication. The MT6990V is typically used in consumer electronics, IoT devices, and other connected systems where fast and secure wireless communication is critical.

Product Description

The MT6990V is designed to meet the increasing demand for high-performance, secure, and efficient wireless communication in modern consumer electronics, IoT devices, and smart home systems. Below is a more in-depth description of its key features and how they benefit specific use cases:

  • Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for Higher Speeds and Efficiency:

    • Wi-Fi 6 offers several key improvements over previous standards, such as higher speeds, lower latency, and the ability to support more connected devices. With a maximum theoretical speed of 9.6 Gbps, the MT6990V is ideal for environments where multiple high-bandwidth applications are running simultaneously, such as smart homes with streaming video, gaming, and smart appliances. The increased efficiency of Wi-Fi 6 ensures that networks can handle more devices without degradation in performance, making the MT6990V perfect for dense device environments.

  • Dual-Band Operation for Optimal Performance:

    • The MT6990V operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, enabling devices to automatically switch to the less crowded and higher-speed 5 GHz band when needed. The 2.4 GHz band provides better coverage and range, especially in environments with walls or obstructions. Meanwhile, the 5 GHz band supports faster data transfer rates and is less prone to interference, making it ideal for high-demand tasks like 4K video streaming or large file downloads.

  • OFDMA and MU-MIMO for Efficient Spectrum Use:

    • OFDMA and MU-MIMO are essential for maximizing the efficiency of modern networks. These technologies allow the MT6990V to handle multiple devices at once without sacrificing performance. In environments with many connected devices, such as offices, apartments, or smart homes, these technologies enable better distribution of bandwidth and reduce congestion, ensuring all devices can communicate efficiently without slowing down the network.

  • Bluetooth 5.1 for Low-Power, Long-Range Connectivity:

    • Bluetooth 5.1 enhances the MT6990V's ability to connect a wide range of Bluetooth-enabled devices over long distances. With a range of up to 240 meters and a data transfer rate of 2 Mbps, Bluetooth 5.1 is ideal for applications such as asset tracking, wearables, and smart home automation. The Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD) features also enable precise location tracking, which is valuable for indoor navigation and asset management systems.

  • Energy Efficiency for IoT Devices:

    • The MT6990V is optimized for low power consumption, making it well-suited for battery-powered IoT devices. With features like Target Wake Time (TWT), which allows devices to wake up and communicate at scheduled intervals, the MT6990V reduces energy usage when devices are not actively transmitting data. This is especially important for IoT sensors, wearables, and other devices that need to operate for long periods without frequent recharging.

  • Security Features for Data Protection:

    • The MT6990V supports the latest WPA3 security protocols, ensuring that devices using this chip can connect to networks with robust security measures. The chip also incorporates hardware-based encryption, further safeguarding sensitive user data during transmission. These security features are particularly important for devices used in critical applications, such as healthcare, home security, and financial services.

  • Compact Integration for Cost-Effective Designs:

    • By integrating multiple wireless communication technologies (Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1) into a single chip, the MT6990V reduces the need for external components, simplifying device designs and lowering costs. Its compact QFN package makes it easy to integrate into small form-factor devices, offering flexibility for a wide range of consumer electronics and IoT applications.
