Compex Systems Unveils Wi-Fi 7 Modules with Smart Connectors, Enabling Seamless Multi-Link Operation (MLO) Integration on Conventional CPU Platforms (Sponsored)

Compex Systems (Compex), a global leader in wireless communication technology, is taking Wi-Fi 7 to new heights with an innovative connector design for Multi-Link Operation (MLO). This breakthrough enables seamless deployment of MLO across off-the-shelf platforms, including those with Intel x86 and ARM processors (e.g. NXP and Marvell), eliminating the need for custom-made host boards and unlocking the full potential of Wi-Fi 7 features for a wider range of users and applications.

WiFi 7 MLO multi link operation
Wi-Fi 7 redefines user connectivity experience with Multi-Link Operation (MLO), where speed meets performance.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) is a key performance advantage of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), setting it apart by allowing the routing and aggregation of throughput across multiple radio links in different frequency bands. It enables data to be routed through the least congested links, improving overall latency and reliability. MLO can also aggregate bandwidths from more than one wireless link, enhancing throughput and network performance. It is ideal for bandwidth-intensive and real-time applications such as 4K/8K video streaming, cloud gaming, VR/AR, cloud computing, and more. The latest generation phones, such as iPhone 16 and Pixel 9, already support MLO and automatically pick the best band to connect to a Wi-Fi 7 AP.

The MLO signals are routed through connectors, ensuring optimal impedance matching to enhance data integrity and reduce interference.

Implementing MLO typically requires custom host board designs with impedance-controlled traces to route high-speed signals between radios through card edge gold fingers, which pose challenges for 3rd party host boards as most do not support the interconnecting traces. Compex’s latest advancement features miniature interconnects and proprietary-configured connecting cables that enable high-speed MLO/WSI signals routing across multiple radios. The MLO/WSI signals are single-ended synchronous data streams, which require great care when routed, even on impedance-controlled PCBs. The Compex’s patent-pending signal conditioning design ensures optimal data transfer while minimizing EMI. With Compex’s MLO Interconnect, the incredible speed and efficiency of Wi-Fi 7 with MLO are accessible across different CPU platforms, including those with Intel x86 and ARM processors, delivering lightning-fast connectivity and high-performance Wi-Fi 7 for both dynamic enterprise and industrial settings.

“We’re unlocking the future of wireless connectivity by making Wi-Fi 7’s most advanced features accessible on standard platforms,” said Jonathan Ho, Operations Manager of Compex Systems Pte. Ltd. “Our connector design on the Wi-Fi 7 modules is a game-changer, allowing the enterprise to experience the incredible speed, capacity and uninterrupted communication of Wi-Fi 7— without the limitations of custom host boards.”

Since 2014, Compex has been a Qualcomm Authorised Design Centre (ADC), reinforcing its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that elevate industry standards. Whether you are looking for Tri-Band or Quad-Band Solutions, Compex’s MLO-enabled Wi-Fi 7 modules are designed to ensure enhanced network performance and provide future-proof connectivity. By eliminating the need for custom boards, Compex opens up a world of possibilities for enterprises with this cost-effective Wi-Fi 7 solution, making it affordable to deploy MLO features in diverse applications across a wide variety of platforms.
