Specification
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Support:
Wi-Fi Standard: The MT7933CV/ZA supports Wi-Fi 6E, the latest Wi-Fi standard, which operates in the newly designated 6 GHz band in addition to the traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This expansion of spectrum allows for significantly reduced congestion and better performance in environments with many connected devices, such as smart homes, offices, and public spaces.
Bandwidth and Speed: With Wi-Fi 6E, the MT7933CV/ZA is capable of supporting 160 MHz channel bandwidth for the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, offering a maximum theoretical throughput of up to 2.4 Gbps (depending on the network and device capabilities). This makes it well-suited for demanding tasks like 4K/8K video streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.
Advanced Features: The chipset supports OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output), and 1024-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), all of which enhance network efficiency and speed, especially in environments with many devices. These technologies allow multiple devices to share the same channel more efficiently, reducing latency and improving overall throughput for each connected device.
Bluetooth 5.2 Integration:
Bluetooth Version: The MT7933CV/ZA integrates Bluetooth 5.2, which improves wireless communication over longer distances and supports higher data transfer speeds compared to previous versions of Bluetooth.
Low-Energy Audio (LE Audio): The chipset supports LE Audio, a feature introduced in Bluetooth 5.2 that allows for improved audio streaming with lower energy consumption. This is particularly beneficial for devices like wireless earbuds, headphones, and smart speakers, offering longer battery life and higher-quality audio.
Enhanced Range and Speed: Bluetooth 5.2 increases the maximum range by up to 4x compared to Bluetooth 4.2, which is useful for devices like wireless keyboards, mice, and gaming peripherals that need extended connectivity without compromising performance. Bluetooth 5.2 also increases the maximum data transfer rate to 2 Mbps, enabling faster file transfers and more reliable communication between Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Power Efficiency & Low Latency:
Target Wake Time (TWT): The MT7933CV/ZA uses TWT to reduce power consumption by scheduling communication between the wireless device and the router. This allows devices to "sleep" for longer periods while still maintaining a steady connection, improving battery life in portable devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Low Latency: The chipset is optimized for low-latency applications, making it suitable for tasks like online gaming, video calls, and streaming. The low-latency communication allows for quick response times, reducing lag and jitter, which is critical for real-time applications.
Advanced Power Saving: The chipset integrates multiple power-saving features, such as power-save mode and dynamic power adjustment, to ensure that devices can stay connected for longer periods without significant power draw, even during high-performance operations.
Enhanced Security Features:
The MT7933CV/ZA supports WPA3 encryption, the latest Wi-Fi security standard, offering enhanced protection for user data and devices. This robust encryption standard helps to safeguard against cyberattacks, ensuring that Wi-Fi networks remain secure even in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats.
Additionally, the chipset includes OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption) support, which enables secure communication for public Wi-Fi networks without requiring a traditional password. This feature helps secure data exchanges on open networks, providing users with more security when connecting to hotspots and other unsecured networks.
Interface and Connectivity:
PCIe 2.0 Interface: The MT7933CV/ZA connects with the host system via a PCIe 2.0 interface, ensuring fast data transfer rates and low-latency communication between the wireless chip and the device's processor.
