Product Description
The MT7613BEN is designed for use in high-performance wireless networking applications. Its combination of Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), dual-band support, and advanced technologies like MU-MIMO and beamforming make it ideal for modern home and office environments. Here’s a more detailed description of its capabilities:
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Dual-Band Operation:
The MT7613BEN supports the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard, which allows for faster wireless data transmission, up to 1.2 Gbps total throughput (up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and up to 400 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band). The dual-band support allows users to utilize the 5 GHz band for high-speed, low-latency applications like 4K streaming, and the 2.4 GHz band for wider coverage in areas where higher speeds are not required.
MU-MIMO Technology:
MU-MIMO technology enables the MT7613BEN to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, which is a significant advantage in households or offices with several connected devices. This reduces network congestion and improves performance for each device, providing a more stable and efficient network experience.
Beamforming Technology:
The beamforming capability of the MT7613BEN allows the router or access point to focus the Wi-Fi signal toward specific devices, increasing the effective range and quality of the wireless connection. This is especially important in large homes or office spaces, where signal degradation and interference from walls and other objects can affect connectivity.
Power Amplifier (PA) for Extended Range:
The integration of a power amplifier helps to improve the signal strength and range, ensuring that the Wi-Fi signal can cover larger areas or penetrate walls and other obstructions. This feature is especially beneficial in environments where the Wi-Fi network needs to cover a wide area or pass through multiple walls.
Gigabit Ethernet Support:
The inclusion of Gigabit Ethernet ensures that the MT7613BEN can provide fast and reliable wired connections for devices that demand high-speed internet, such as gaming consoles, smart TVs, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
Advanced Security Features:
The chip supports WPA3, the latest Wi-Fi security protocol, which provides stronger encryption and better protection against hacking attempts compared to older protocols like WPA2. This is especially important for securing sensitive data on wireless networks.
Low Power Consumption:
Designed for energy efficiency, the MT7613BEN is optimized for low power consumption, making it suitable for always-on devices like routers, access points, and IoT hubs. This helps reduce the overall energy usage, keeping operational costs low while maintaining 24/7 functionality.
