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-N 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) 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 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) 1x1 20/40MHz STA.

The CEVA RW-N IP consist in 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) 1x1 MAC and modem cores, supporting both STA and 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-N platform can be used in a standalone single processor chip or integrated into a bigger SoC such as a microcontroller, an application processor or a multi-standard wireless combo.

For more comprehensive solution, the RW-N 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-N Low Power IP supports several radio IPs from various partners such as Catena. Other RF can be easily supported on customer demand.
