MT7615 uses integrated FEM, or external FEM, to deliver HD/4K video and data in home or office environments. Beamforming and MU-MIMO support enable it to support 4 users simultaneously, increasing the spectral efficiency of wireless environments.

MediaTek’s MT7615 SoC enables service providers and enterprises to provide top-performing Wi-Fi experience to their customers. It complies with IEEE 802.11ac (Wave1 and Wave2) and is compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards.

The SoC combines with MediaTek’s MT7623 Quad Core ARM-based network processing unit, with built-in 1×1 Wi-Fi for sniffer, background scan and spectrum analyzer purposes, plus Bluetooth connectivity for speakers and wearable devices.
