Fibocom launched a 5G + Wifi 7 module for 5G FWA during last week’s Computex in Taipei, satisfying the demand for higher data-throughput and extending Wifi 7 performance in home, small and medium-sized business (SMB) and industrial scenarios.

High bandwidth and low latency make the FG370 suitable for 5G FWA scenarios such as smart home, SMB and industrial monitoring.

The multiplier option can be realised by coupling with the latest Wifi 7 technology, unleashing the potential of a fast wireless experience for end users. Compliant with the IEEE 802.11be (Wifi 7) standard, the 5G + Wifi 7 module supports a 4K QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) scheme as well as up to 160MHz channel bandwidth to expand the data transmission capacity and reduce latency efficiently. The module (www.fibocom.com/en/products/5G-FG370-NA.html) also supports dual-band 2.4GHz 4×4 and 5GHz 5×5 to achieve MLO speed of up to 7.2Gbit/s.

In terms of reliability and transmission efficiency, the integration with OFDMA, multi-RU and MU-MIMO technologies guarantees interference-free, signal-boosted performance. Driven by the 5T5R system empowered by the Wifi 7 chipset, end users should benefit from 5dB antenna gains and extended network coverage compared with previous generations.

“As the world’s first 5G module developed from MediaTek’s T830, Fibocom FG370 has been recognised and deployed by global tier-one operators’ 5G CPE commercialisation since its first debut in October 2023,” said Simon Tao, vice president at Fibocom. “Evolved with the latest Wifi 7 standard, Fibocom launched the tri-band BE19000 based on FG370 during MWC 2024. Up to date, Fibocom is glad to be the first module vendor launching the industry-first dual-band BE7200 based on FG370 compatible with Wifi 7 chipset, significantly boosting the overall performance in terms of speed performance, cost and frequency regulatory requirements.”

Fibocom (www.fibocom.com) is the first wireless communication module provider listed on China A-shares stock market. Its products include cellular, automotive-grade, AI, Android-smart and GNSS modules, as well as an antenna service.
