5G Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip connects car with rest of the world

To enable kind of a seamless and easy interface of mobile devices with car, and also connect car with wearable electronics devices and external world of devices and systems, Broadcom has unveiled a wireless chips integrated with high-speed 5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transceivers supporting IEEE 802.11ac standard. BCM89335 5G WiFi/ Bluetooth Smart Ready combo chip and the BCM89071 Bluetooth + Bluetooth Smart Ready chip enables content streaming from mobile devices to car's infotainment system and rear-seat displays. The new chips also stream car with Internet and cloud content From LTE base station or from a Wi-Fi hotspot. These ICs pack MAC, PHY, RF and Bluetooth Smart Ready on a single chip. They feature integrated Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint support. BCM89335 and BCM89071 are designed to resolve interference challenges in systems with both 4G LTE cellular radios and wireless connectivity. They also support advanced beamforming, low-density parity check and space-time block support for better coverage. Due to the chips ability to transmit data at higher speeds up to 5 GHz, multiple in-car displays can be fed with 1080p resolution video. With 2.4GHz Bluetooth hands-free operation, Bluetooth Smart Ready technology supports connectivity between the car and wearable tech and body sensors, such as the ability to monitor bio...
