At CES 2026 this year, MediaTek announced the launch of its new Wi-Fi 8 chipset platform—the Filogic 8000 series. This unveiling not only underscores MediaTek’s continued leadership in advancing wireless connectivity, but also signals its ambition to take the lead in shaping the emerging Wi-Fi 8 ecosystem.
Positioned for high-end and flagship devices, the Filogic 8000 series is designed for a wide range of applications, spanning broadband gateways, enterprise access points, and end-user devices such as smartphones, laptops, televisions, tablets, and IoT products.
As the number of connected devices in homes and offices grows at an explosive pace, wireless environments have become increasingly congested and prone to interference, resulting in unstable connections and sluggish responsiveness. Against this backdrop, the arrival of Wi-Fi 8 is both timely and essential.
MediaTek emphasizes that Wi-Fi 8 is engineered primarily for high-density, high-load scenarios—particularly those driven by AI-intensive applications. The new standard delivers more stable connectivity and ultra-low latency, reflecting a shift in focus away from raw bandwidth alone toward energy efficiency and overall connection quality. To achieve these goals, MediaTek’s Wi-Fi 8 solution centers on four key technological innovations:
- •Multi-AP Coordination: Through cooperative beamforming (Co-BF), coordinated spatial reuse (Co-SR), and multi-AP scheduling (MAP), multiple wireless access points can operate collaboratively, reducing mutual interference while improving aggregate throughput.
- Enhanced Spectral Efficiency and Coexistence: Technologies such as Dynamic Subchannel Operation (DSO) and Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA) enable devices to share resources efficiently even in heavily congested spectrum environments.
- Extended Coverage and Connectivity Range: By introducing Enhanced Long Range (ELR) and Distributed Resource Units (dRU), the platform improves uplink performance, lowers latency, and supports seamless roaming—ensuring reliable connectivity even at the network edge.
- Optimized Low Latency and Reliability: Smarter rate adaptation and Aggregated Physical-Layer Protocol Data Units (APPDU) address the stringent real-time requirements of XR, cloud gaming, and industrial automation.
MediaTek currently ships more than two billion connected devices annually, and the Filogic 8000 announcement has already garnered support from a broad ecosystem of partners, including Ruckus Networks, Buffalo, HP, ASUS, Acer, Korea Telecom (KT), Adtran, Arcadyan, and Foxconn Industrial Internet.
According to MediaTek, the first chipset in the Filogic 8000 series is expected to begin sampling in 2026.
