Product Description
The MT7981B is a high-performance, highly integrated Wi-Fi 6 SoC designed for use in advanced networking devices, particularly those requiring high-speed internet access and network reliability in environments with many devices. The support for Wi-Fi 6 allows it to deliver faster wireless speeds and handle network traffic more efficiently by using technologies like OFDMA, which divides the available bandwidth into smaller channels, and MU-MIMO, which enables multiple devices to communicate with the router simultaneously without interference.
For wired connections, the MT7981B's support for multi-gigabit Ethernet makes it an ideal choice for users who require high-speed wired connectivity, such as in offices or homes with heavy data needs (e.g., 4K streaming, online gaming, or large file transfers). This makes it versatile in high-performance networking scenarios, allowing both fast wireless and wired connections.
Security is another strong point of the MT7981B, with support for WPA3 encryption, which ensures more secure wireless communication by protecting against hacking attempts and unauthorized access. This is especially important for networking products that serve as a gateway for internet access in home or office environments.
The MT7981B also features a Network Processing Unit (NPU), allowing for efficient traffic management, improved Quality of Service (QoS), and reducing latency in high-demand situations. This is particularly valuable in devices used for enterprise-level networking or in homes with high bandwidth usage, such as streaming, gaming, or IoT (Internet of Things) devices.
Furthermore, its energy-efficient design ensures that devices using the MT7981B can operate for extended periods without excessive power usage, a critical feature in modern consumer electronics, where battery life and energy consumption are key considerations.
