The chip company is already using Wi-Fi 802.11 IP developed by Quantenna and the latest SoC Cannes Wifi (STiHL 390).
This is a 28 nm FD-SOI chip with a multi-core ARM processor, which provides 6K DMIPS and Mali 400 GPUs for 3D graphics.
Quantenna's IP baseband supports 802.11ac / 11n wave2 4x4 Wi-Fi performance for home video transmission.
Philippe Notton, general manager of STMicroelectronics' consumer products division, said the company has validated 4x4 Wi-Fi 802.11ac in its existing video distribution.
Another feature is support for decoding and displaying HDR (High Dynamic Range) content.
The company's description of the chip is as follows:
The device integrates the GPU with the leading ARM application processor architecture to provide a thin client platform or an interactive decoder (STB) platform to support the latest software and middleware solutions.
The device has built-in Wi-Fi that supports carrier-grade Wi-Fi, allowing family members to transmit high-definition video, making it ideal for Wi-Fi clients with High-Definition Video Coding (HEVC) to reduce bandwidth.
