MediaTek Filogic 880

Achieve unparalleled Wi-Fi 7 performance up to 36Gbps (BE36000) from a groundbreaking penta-band flagship platform for routers, repeaters, gateways, and access points. Benefit from an extremely power efficient platform that offers a best-in-class quad-core CPU, dedicated Network Processing Unit (NPU), comprehensive Wi-Fi 7 features with the lowest latency connections.

Penta-band Connectivity up to 36Gbps PHY (BE36000)

The MediaTek Filogic 880 platform offers flagship Wi-Fi 7 performance up to 36Gbps PHY (BE36000). Connectivity starts with tri-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz and is scalable to Penta-band support. The platform supports complete Wi-Fi 7 features including 320MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM, MLO, MRU, and AFC.

Unique 4T5R Maximizes 6GHz Performance

MediaTek’s unique 4T5R platform allows for improved Receive Diversity and supports MRC (Multiple Receive Combining). This boosts 6GHz band throughput in typical indoor scenarios and extends maximum range. This assures true flagship-grade performance as well as more reliable and effective mesh networking backhaul over 6GHz.

Single-chip MAC MLO Assures Lowest Latency & Best Power Efficiency

Single-chip MAC MLO (Multi-link operation) is a unique architecture that allows optimal MLO performance in Wi-Fi 7 networks. This technology lowers latency by up to 100x versus competing Wi-Fi 7 solutions. MLO aggregation and integrated into a single chip and ensures the fastest, smoothest and most efficient band switching performance.

Powerful Quad-core CPU & MediaTek Network Processing Unit (NPU)

Filogic 880’s embedded CPU features a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 with large internal cache and speeds of up to 1.8GHz for a class-leading performance of close to 30K DMIPS. With the NPU offloading networking tasks, the CPE is free for device makers to offer OS customization, in-built services and apps for extended functionality, now a regular feature of flagship router/AP equipment.

The in-chip, MediaTek-designed Network Processing Unit (NPU) provides hardware QoS acceleration and Tunneling Offload Engine for VLAN / PPTP / L2TP / GRE. It goes beyond others to work with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, ensuring performance at full speeds while also offloading the main application processor.

The MediaTek Filogic 880 platform is highly extensible, with high speed internal and external interfaces including 10Gbps PCI-Express, 5Gbps USB, UART, SD, SPI, PWM, GPIO and OTP for rich platform customization opportunities.

Premium Wired Connectivity

Two USXGMII provide two 10Gbps Ethernet, ensuring full speed from wireless to wired is available – ideal for latest 10G+ Fiber connections, SMB and tech enthusiasts that require the fastest data networking speeds. In addition, a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port and four Gigabit Ethernet switch are available from the platform, ensuring an array of Ethernet connectivity speeds with great flexibility for device makers to customize designs.

Ultra-high Speed Networking Crypto Engine

Hardware-based Networking Crypto engine (EIP-197) for IPv4 NATP / IPv6 / DS-Lite / 6RD acceleration.
