Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) announced three new systems-on-chip devices designed for Wi-Fi 8 routers and mesh networks. The BCM6772, BCM6774, and BCM6776 chips integrate application processors, network processors, Wi-Fi radios, and multi-gigabit Ethernet components onto single dies.

The integrated approach consolidates components that previously required multiple chips. Each device includes a quad-core CPU complex and a network processing engine. The chips feature on-chip 2.4 GHz power amplifiers and digital pre-distortion technology.

The BCM6772 targets mass-market routers with 2x2 radios for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands in a 15x15 mm package. The BCM6774 provides 2x2 2.4 GHz and 4x4 5 GHz radios in the same package size. The BCM6776 offers similar radio configurations with dual PCIe controllers and expanded memory support in a 19x19 mm package.

"By condensing a complex, multi-chip architecture into a single, power-efficient SoC, we're enabling our partners to deliver multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 8 mesh systems that are more affordable, more reliable, and easier to deploy than ever before," said Mark Gonikberg, senior vice president of Broadcom's Wireless and Broadband Communications Division.

Partner companies including ASUS, NETGEAR, TP-Link, and Sagemcom provided statements supporting the new chip architecture. The companies indicated plans to incorporate the technology into upcoming networking products.

Broadcom is currently providing samples of the BCM677x family to early access partners and customers. The announcement follows the company's previous Wi-Fi 8 product releases focused on modular architectures for enterprise applications.
