Product Description

Broadcom 4x4 802.11ax Release 2 Wi-Fi 6/6E Residential Access Point (AP) Chip - BCM6715

The BCM6715 is a 4x4 IEEE 802.11ax release 2 Wi-Fi 6/6E MAC/PHY/radio system-on-a-chip (SoC) device. The BCM6715 device can operate in 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands selectively up to 160MHz channel bandwidth. Taking advantage of multi-user technologies such as OFDMA (downlink and uplink) and MU-MIMO (downlink and uplink), the BCM6715 delivers better throughput and reach to consumer devices in a home network. The device can be used in routers, residential gateways, Wi-Fi extenders and Wi-Fi mesh configurations.
