Connectivity business at MediaTek. "This upcoming device is powered
by MediaTek Filogic and Airoha 10G-PON technology, and will
showcase the full potential of Wi-Fi 7, enabling new applications
and experiences for consumers and businesses alike."
"Airoha's 10G-PON platform and high-performance processor
technology is what enables Wi-Fi 7's high-speed capabilities," said
Bomin Wang, executive vice president
of Airoha Technology. "We are happy to watch and learn from Lumen
as they transform this technology innovation into a competitive
advantage."
