We specialize in designing, developing, and producing wireless networking equipment, including products that operate on the 60GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band. 8devices has been developing products using this technology since 2016 and has done multiple projects based on different radio vendors.
Why mmwave?
Wide Spectrum: 60GHz mmWave technology has access to a large amount of unlicensed spectrum (up to 14 GHz), which provides ample bandwidth for high-speed data transfer and communication.
Narrow Beam Antenna: The use of narrow beam antennas in 60GHz mmWave technology allows for highly directional communication, which improves signal quality and reduces interference from other devices.
Multi-Gigabit Data Throughput: The high frequency and wide spectrum available in 60GHz mmWave technology allow for multi-gigabit data throughput, enabling high-speed communication and data transfer.
Low Entry and Operating Costs: Using unlicensed spectrum in 60GHz mmWave technology means no licensing fees are associated with using the technology. Additionally, the cost of hardware components for 60GHz mmWave technology has decreased, making it more accessible to a wider range of applications.
High EIRP Capability: 60GHz mmWave technology has highly effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) capabilities, which allows for longer-range communication and better signal quality. This is achieved through the use of high-gain phased array antennas.
Flexible Antenna and Beamforming Configurations: 60GHz mmWave technology allows for flexible antenna and beamforming configurations, which can be optimized for specific applications. This can help minimize interference and improve overall system performance.
Their 60GHz mmWave equipment includes WiGig (IEEE 802.11ad/ay) modules, development kits, and evaluation boards for high-speed wireless data transfer and communication. These products can be used in various applications such as fixed wireless broadband, video surveillance, 5G backhaul, wireless VR/AR, industrial automation, and more.
Custom-made 60GHz solutions
Fast Track by 8devices is a product design program that enables our customers to reach the product launch stage faster by leveraging our experience and know-how.
From prototype design, testing, certification to mass production, we will assist you in ensuring quick time to market and high-quality engineering.
Development kits with SDK
8devices offers different evaluation and development kits and a fully customizable Firmux SDK.
Our development kits include a board support package (BSP) and a Firmux startup and configuration system. The BSP provides low-level hardware drivers and other necessary components for running the hardware, while the Firmux startup and configuration system extends the OpenWrt system with additional customizations.
The SDK is based on the OpenWrt build system, which allows users to easily add custom packages and compile them into a firmware upgrade image. This will enable developers to customize the system to meet their specific requirements.
All evaluation kit is available for purchase from 8devices e-store. For support, troubleshooting, and licensing of the SDK, contact us.
