AIROC™ ACW741x

We are pleased to announce our upcoming tri-radio connectivity solution, setting a new standard in wireless communication for the next generation of connected devices.

An integrated tri-radio solution spanning 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz combines Wi‑Fi 7 for ultra-fast, low-latency connectivity,  Bluetooth® LE 6.0 for efficient, low-power peripheral and audio links, and 802.15.4/Thread for reliable mesh networking. With Matter support, it enables secure, seamless interoperability across smart home ecosystems, simplifying onboarding, control, and lifecycle management. This unified platform delivers performance, energy efficiency, and future-ready flexibility in a single design.

Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link for IoT with 3x data reliability unifies multiple bands under one logical connection and uses adaptive band switching to mitigate congestion and interference, enhancing link reliability and stability. By rapidly time‑slicing a single RF chain across the cleanest available links. MLO delivers more consistent throughput and lower latency while avoiding the hardware and power overhead of concurrent multi‑radio designs.

Read more about Multi-link for IoT here.

Ultra‑low‑power by design, this solution offers up to 15x lower connected standby power, unlocking longer battery life, to keep critical battery operated IoT devices connected and ready. With 45 - 70% lower active power consumption, energy efficiency and battery performance is further extended for many use cases.

Wireless sensing and ranging unlock contextual awareness for smart IoT devices by combining Wi‑Fi’s ability to detect presence and motion with Bluetooth®'s proximity and distance capabilities. This multi‑radio approach enables room‑level localization, touchless controls, occupancy‑driven energy savings, safety alerts, and asset tracking—without requiring specialized infrastructure—so products become smarter, more intuitive, and more efficient over time. Built on widely adopted standards, the solution is future‑proof: software updates can deliver new sensing modes and automations, edge processing keeps user data private, and seamless interoperability ensures effortless deployment across homes, offices, and industrial spaces.

For ease of design and optimized system cost, this solution supports low‑cost two‑layer PCB layouts in a well-integrated QFN package with integrated RF switches, a power management unit (PMU), and a low‑power oscillator (LPO). By reducing external components and simplifying RF routing, power rails, and clocking, ACW741x reduces BOM cost, streamlines manufacturing, and accelerates time‑to‑market—delivering compact, reliable, devices for the IoT — without compromising wireless performance.
