The Quantenna QHS710 is the world’s first chipset with 4x4 MIMO, dynamic digital beamforming, and support for 4 spatial streams with unequal modulation. The solution enables gateways, routers, video bridges and other products to transmit concurrent multiple 1080p-resolution high-definition (HD) video streams and standard-definition (SD) streams to multiple televisions, with whole-home coverage, over a single wireless home network. The QHS710 enables home networks to deliver the full range of services and applications – including multi-room digital video recording (DVR) and video streaming services – without requiring users to run cabling through the residence, and with a seamless and secure self-installation process.
The QHS710 chipset combines Quantenna’s QT2018B Baseband Chip and QT2518B Radio Frequency (RF) Chip. The fully compliant 802.11n QHS710 chipset supports 4x4 MIMO (4Tx 4Rx) with implicit/explicit transmit beamforming and operates in the 5GHz frequency band. The chipset has a wide variety of interfaces including dual RGMII/MII, PCI-e and SPI flash, and its dual embedded ARC processors provide full wireless Media Access Control (MAC) and network processing support.
Support for 4 spatial streams with unequal modulation per stream enables up to 600 Mbps PHY data rates and best-in-class performance. Support for Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) enables efficient error correction coding for superior coverage and improved range.
As the core chipset, the QHS710 device enables applications such as high-definition video content delivery to wireless HDTVs, wireless routers, wireless video bridges for Set-top Boxes (STB), HDTVs with integrated video decoders, residential gateways (cable, fiber, xDSL), media servers and Home Network Storage (NAS) appliances with integrated Access Points (APs).
