S2C and Sirius Wireless Collaborate on Wi-Fi 7 RF IP Verification System

SAN JOSE,Calif.,May 28,2024 -- Sirius Wireless partnered with FPGA prototyping expert S2C to develop the Wi-Fi 7 RF IP Verification System,enhancing working efficiency and accelerating time-to-market for clients.

Wi-Fi 7 is the latest Wi-Fi technology,with speeds of up to 30Gbps,approximately three times the peak performance of Wi-Fi 6. However,Wi-Fi 7 sets rigorous standards for chipset designers and RF IP vendors,demanding excellent capabilities to handle 320 MHz bandwidth and 4096-QAM,including faster,lower-noise ADCs/DACs,sophisticated RF designs,and complex baseband processing.

Leveraging the S2C Prodigy S7-9P Logic System,Sirius Wireless conducts comprehensive verification and testing of RF performance indicators such as throughput,reception sensitivity,and EVM. Then they used Prodigy Prototype Ready IP which are ready-to-use daughter cards and accessories from S2C to interface with digital MAC,offer an end-to-end verification solution from RF to MAC to overcome the RF design nightmare,accelerating their time-to-market by shortening the chip verification cycle.

S2C's extensive range of prototype tools,including productivity software suite,debugging solutions,and daughter boards,empowers designers to accelerate their functional verification by quickly building a prototyping environment. In addition,Prodigy S7-9P Logic System also serves as a demonstration platform prior to tape-out to showcase and help them kickstart software development early. An example of such benefits is Sirius's development of its Wi-Fi6 IP verification system. With this system,one of Sirius's customers on short-range wireless chip designs spent only three months to complete the pre-silicon hardware performance analysis and performance com-parison test. The company thus shortened its production verification time and customers' product introduction cycle,significantly improving efficiency by over 40%.

Sam Chu,VP of Marketing at Sirius Wireless,states,"We have had a longstanding deep collaboration with S2C,jointly providing end-to-end verification solutions from RF to MAC for our clients. After our successful partnership on Wi-Fi 6,we're confident in S2C's Prodigy System for Wi-Fi 7 development. Its mature performance,user-friendly operation,and abundant validation experience reinforce our high expectations of Wifi-7 products."

"S2C aims to boost partners' market competitiveness",said Ying Chen,VP of Sales & Marketing at S2C,"Sirius Wireless stands out in RF IP,being the sole company with TSMC's advanced processes and Wi-Fi 7 RF design expertise. S2C is glad to work together with them to breathe new life into the whole industry."
