When it comes to watching them HD videos of kittens, we need a fast connection that can keep up with our important agenda. That's where a solid Wi-Fi connection comes in handy. Wi-Fi has certainly changed a lot in recent years, with new standards like 802.11ac (aka 5G Wi-Fi) pushing the limits on both range and speed.
Unfortunately, there are few devices that actually use the latest and greatest 5G Wi-Fi, especially in the mobile world. In fact, the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 are the only two handsets using Broadcom's tech, at least that we're aware of. The good news is that this will soon be changing, as Broadcom has now announced its first 5G Wi-Fi combo chips designed for entry-level consumer devices.
Current mobile devices and PCs utilize the more expensive BCM4335. The next-gen BCM4339 and BCM43162 are designed to cut down costs by integrating a complete front-end, power amplifier and Low Noise amplifier. So what sets the BCM4339 and BCM43162 apart from one another? The former of these is geared towards smartphones and tablets. The later is the solution aimed at PCs and notebooks.
Broadcom says that they already have companies sampling the chips and expects volume production in the second half of the year. In other words, it shouldn't be too long before these chips show up in actual devices.
For those that have the HTC One and Samsung GS4, are you fully utilizing the power of 802.11ac? What do you think of its performance?
