¶ MediaTek MT7988(Filogic 880)
The MediaTek Filogic 880 platform provides a 36 Gbps Wi-Fi 7 access point/router/gateway solution that delivers the fastest and most reliable connectivity experience.
The MediaTek MT7988A is a world-class network processor designed for high-performance and reliable networking in both wired and wireless applications. It offers a comprehensive set of connectivity interfaces, including four Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USXGMII interfaces, four PCIe interfaces, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports.
The MT7988A further enables seamless tri-band Wi-Fi 7 connectivity across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, with its Wi-Fi 7 companion chip featuring 320 MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM, MLO, MRU and AFC
To meet the needs of rapidly evolving tunneling applications, the MT7988A comes equipped with the MediaTek Tunnel Offload Processor System (TOPS), which facilitates the processing of a wide range of tunneling protocols. The MT7988A optimizes networking performance with a finely tuned ISA of MediaTek TOPS, delivering premium-level offloading capabilities.
NOTE:Some functions require continuous software updates and improvements.
