Bringing 802.11ac to the mainstream: Broadcom VP Rahul Patel talks up 5G Wi-Fi




Demand for video, especially high-definition video, is pushing players in the mobile telecom industry to continually seek new ways to increase bandwidth. On the network side, telecoms carriers are rolling out 4G networks to support increasingly large bandwidths for downloading and uploading video to the Internet, while Wi-Fi players realize that users are sometimes bypassing the network completely and demanding high-bandwidth Wi-Fi so that they can participate in peer-to-peer (P2P) content sharing. Last year at Computex Taipei, OEMs and ODMs began highlighting products featuring next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi, or as Broadcom calls it, 5G Wi-Fi.



At this year's Computex Taipei, Broadcom is launching a number of new products with the aim of bringing 5G Wi-Fi to the mass market. Digitimes recently spoke with Rahul Patel, vice president for Broadcom's Mobile and Wireless Group, to get an update on the various market segments Broadcom is targeting with its new product launches.
