AI Router Whole-Home Smart Solution
This year, Realtek will exhibit a dynamic demonstration of smart home applications powered by its AI Router and Extender. The Wi-Fi 7 AP/Router Solution includes the high-coverage BE7200 Router and the BE3600 AP/Extender, both supporting the latest Wi-Fi 802.11be standard. Equipped with AI tunneling technology, the solution enables dynamic bandwidth adjustment to meet high-bandwidth and low-latency demands.
A single-platform design provides flexible support for a range of performance options from the BE3600 to the BE7200. The BE7200 features a 4T5R RF architecture, enhancing wireless performance and coverage. Meanwhile, the BE3600 is the world’s first AI MESH extender equipped with patented AI Location technology, featuring an interactive interface for effortless network optimization.
Matter over Thread OTBR and Dual-Mode Bluetooth Solution for In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems
The Matter over Thread OTBR (Open Thread Border Router) solution not only enables cloud synchronization via Wi-Fi but also supports direct connection to a home AP (Access Point) through Realtek’s Ethernet port for cloud uploads. By leveraging multi-protocol wireless technology, it establishes a Thread network, serving as a crucial Matter over Thread gateway for household Thread end devices, accelerating the deployment of Matter networks. This solution can utilize a set-top box as an OpenThread border router, integrating both Wi-Fi and Thread protocols. Through the set-top box, users can control home lighting and manage Matter smart plugs via a wireless router. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates into the Google ecosystem, simplifying the adoption of smart home applications.
Realtek will also introduce a dual-mode Bluetooth solution designed for Audio, Video, and Navigation (AVN) systems, supporting BT Legacy, LE Audio, and BLE to meet the growing demand for multi-device connectivity in vehicles while enhancing the entertainment and interactive experience. This solution offers two architectural options: an external MCU and a built-in Bluetooth protocol stack, catering to different system designs. Passengers can effortlessly connect Bluetooth headsets, game controllers, and other devices, enabling wireless gaming, multimedia entertainment, and communication features—creating a smarter, more connected in-car entertainment environment.
At AWE 2025, Realtek Semiconductor will exhibit its innovative capabilities across smart home technologies, IoT, multimedia entertainment, and in-vehicle applications through a wide range of network communication solutions.
