Peraso to commence development of custom IP, mmWave wireless tech for Wi-Fi 8

Peraso announced plans to develop custom intellectual property and millimeter-wave solutions for Wi-Fi 8, as well as future IEEE standards. As a continuation of the success of Wi-Fi in unlicensed frequency bands, the IEEE 802.11 Working Group passed a motion to recommend to the IEEE Standards Executive Committee the development of an amendment to IEEE 802.11 to specify the inclusion of mmWave support in mainstream Wi-Fi. The new amendment, which is expected to be called IEEE 802.11bq, would include support for the unlicensed 60GHz frequency band. Peraso recognizes the opportunity and value proposition this will bring to the Wi-Fi ecosystem, and, in support of the proposed amendment, intends to immediately commence the development of custom IP and mmWave wireless technologies for third-party fabless semiconductor firms.
