Peraso Inc. announced a new customer engagement, which demonstrates the company's ability to expand into new, high-growth consumer markets. As part of its latest partnership, Peraso'sX130 chipset will be replacing its customer's current solution for wireless video distribution for indoor applications. The X130 offers support for high bandwidth, low latency applications and circumvents Wi-Fi network congestion using mmWave.

The X130 can guarantee a high bandwidth connection between the user and an Ultra High-Definition (UHD) video display. As it operates in the 60GHz band, there is no interference from Wi-Fi devices and, with the use of directional beamforming technology and the propagation characteristics of 60GHz signals, there is also no interference from other 802.11ad devices. As part of its partnership, Peraso is helping its customer to build a one-of-a-kind proprietary solution to enable single-user operation initially.

Later releases will enable multi-user operation. Peraso's X130 chipset employs the PRS1145 and PRS4601 integrated circuits to implement a low cost, low power, high performance SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to 802.11ad 60 GHz mmWave system. The X130 provides multi-gigabit throughput with the ability to power applications such as wireless AR/VR, wireless displays, wireless docking, and wireless access to the cloud, which can now be much more effective and efficient using WiGig technology.

X130 Key features include: PRS4601 - 802.11ad Baseband IC; 802.11ad compliant PHY; Maximum data rate up to 4.62 Gb/s throughput; Single carrier MCS0 to MCS12 (16-QAM); Variable rate LDPC FEC; Full support for beamforming and beam tracking; USB 2.0/3.0 (5 Gb/s) device controller with integrated PHY; 802.11ad compliant MAC; Two integrated RISC CPUs; On-chip memory for all packet buffering, control and management functions; Contention-based and scheduled access with highly programmable scheduler; Full support for A-MSDU, A-MPDU and Reverse Direction; 128-bit AES security (GCMP); Highly configurable peripheral interfaces; 32 client support; Support for two connected radios; 24 configurable, multi-function, GPIOs; Windows, Linux and Android support; 7mm x 7mm BGA; PRS1145 - 60GHz Phased Array RFIC: RF chains: 8; Tx /Rx antenna ports: 16; Tx output power: 15 dBm (QPSK), 13 dBm (16-QAM); Rx noise figure: 7dB; PLL tunes to channels 1 - 4 of 802.11ad; Integrated crystal oscillator; Supports BPSK, QPSK, p/2-QPSK, 16-QAM single carrier modulation; Baseband I/Q interface; 3 /4-wire SPI and 10 GPIOs for configuration and control; 10mm x 10mm BGA.
