Intel Announces AnyWAN™ GRX750 SoC Family and Reference Design
Announcing 5th-Generation 11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Family for Enhanced Connectivity and Performance

At Computex, Intel introduced the Intel AnyWAN GRX 750 system-on-chip (SoC), Intel's fifth-generation 11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi family, and a portfolio of home gateways from leading OEMs for the retail networking industry.

Intel's connectivity products for the connected home provide the foundation needed to support the growing number of connected "things" and Internet-based cloud services, delivering reliable, effortless experiences for consumers and small and medium-sized businesses.

The Intel AnyWAN GRX750 SoC family is a high-performance, low-power broadband and communications processor SoC based on the Intel Atom™ microarchitecture. Intel's latest SoCs enable service providers and retail OEMs to rapidly innovate for the connected home, reducing costs, streamlining operations, developing new services and applications, and meeting evolving customer expectations.



The Intel AnyWAN GRX750 SoC enables home gateways to deliver richer experiences to consumers in the home. The Intel platform connects media-centric devices, such as smart TVs and other entertainment clients, to a secure infrastructure integrated with Intel® Security products. Additionally, it enables local and cloud-based services, media creation, and content sharing across a variety of devices, from next-generation ultra-high-definition devices to the "things" in each home. This enables Intel OEMs, service providers, and retailers to more easily deliver reliable connected home experiences to their customers.

Unlike other solutions currently on the market, the Intel AnyWAN GRX750 SoC provides OEMs with the flexibility to connect to a variety of wired and wireless technologies, including fiber, DSL, G.fast, and 4G/5G.

Intel's new reference designs based on the Intel AnyWAN GRX750 SoC provide ODMs, OEMs, and system integrators with multiple connectivity options and 1G to 10G wired and wireless connectivity to meet the growing demands of consumers, service providers, and enterprises.

Intel's 5th Generation 11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Family Boosts Home Connectivity Performance with the Intel XWAY WAV500 Wi-Fi Chipset: Intel has launched its 5th generation 11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi family to deliver the performance and scalability needed to support the growing number of connected devices in the home.

As the number of devices in the home increases, so does CPU usage. The Intel AnyWAN GRX750 SoC, paired with the Intel® XWAY™ WAV500 Wi-Fi chipset, provides processing power and memory without any CPU usage, freeing up CPU power for new, advanced services.

Intel currently has the industry's highest-performance Wi-Fi solution, supporting over 100 clients. This meets the growing needs of mobile users for media-centric applications and the performance and consumption demands of the IoT device connectivity market.

Intel AnyWAN connectivity architecture enables consumer Wi-Fi access points to cost-effectively connect to wired or wireless networks in retail channels. Consumers can support over 100 devices simultaneously at over 1 Gbps of traffic in their homes.

Entering new retail markets to provide smarter, connected home solutions.

With more than 1 billion residential gateways expected to ship over the next three years,1 Intel is entering the new retail networking market to provide consumers with more connected home solution options. Intel has announced more than a dozen designs with leading OEMs and ODMs, including Arris, ASUS AVM, Belkin, Foxconn, Haier, Hitron, Humax, Mitrastar, Netcore, Netgear, NewOne, VTech, and Zyxel.
