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. 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, [...]
