The RivieraWaves Wi-Fi IP family offers a comprehensive suite of IPs and platforms for embedding Wi-Fi connectivity into SoCs/ASSPs addressing a broad range of applications.

This RW-AX 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) IP is part of the RivieraWaves Wi-Fi Low Power category, targeted at IoT peripherals, including wearables, medical devices, wireless audio and other use cases where power and cost are critical factors. This is the industry s smallest footprint and lowest power Wi-Fi IP compliant with 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) 1x1 20MHz STA.

The CEVA RW-AX Low Power IP consists of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) MAC and modem cores, restricted to 1x1 SISO with 20MHz bandwidth configuration, supporting STA and Soft AP modes. The MAC is controlled by a LMAC+UMAC (aka FullMAC) software protocol stack. The IP is provided with an integration-ready processor and operating-system- agnostic platform, simplifying deployment in SoC/ASSP designs. The Wi-Fi software protocol stack can be executed on any processor such as ARM, ARC, Andes, Cortus, RISC-V and others.

The RW-AX platform can be used in a standalone single processor chip or integrated into a bigger microcontroller with an application processor.

For more comprehensive solution, the RW-AX IP is well complemented with CEVA-DSP such as the CEVA TeakLite 4 or CEVA-X2, to execute audio processing or other always on sensor hub.

Silicon independent, the RW-AX Low Power IP supports several radio IPs from various partners such as Catena. Other RF can be easily supported on customer demand.
