WiCense Technology
Realtek launches its groundbreaking WiCense technology, featuring non-intrusive, privacy-focused, and highly flexible attributes that mark a significant breakthrough for next-generation smart environments. WiCense harnesses the principles of Wi-Fi signal interaction with people and objects, enabling the detection of presence, movement, and even vital signs through subtle changes in signal patterns. This process does not require cameras or additional hardware, greatly reducing privacy concerns and expanding its applicability to residential, commercial, and medical settings. Realtek’s WiCense offers powerful real-time environmental sensing capabilities to become an ideal choice for various smart home solutions, thereby propelling the development of intelligent spaces to the next level.
Matter over Thread Smart Home Solutions
Realtek presents advanced smart home connectivity through comprehensive Matter over Thread solutions. Core offerings include:
- ThreadNet OpenThread Border Router (OTBR): Enhanced network interoperability and management.
- Thread Network Co-Processor (NCP): Architecture with NCP design separating IEEE802.15.4 transceiver functions to boost energy efficiency and streamline development.
- Thread SoC: Utilized for smart home end devices, delivering high-speed connectivity in lighting and sensor applications.
Realtek's complete Matter over Thread portfolio enables manufacturers and consumers to build future-ready smart home ecosystems, combining superior connectivity with user-centric design featuring Bluetooth human-machine interfaces (HMI) for an enhanced user experience.
100GbE and 10GbE Solutions
Realtek’s 100GbE and 10GbE Ethernet solutions meet the stringent demands of modern enterprises, servers, and artificial intelligence (AI) applications for high-performance networking. Realtek's Ethernet chips and PHY transceivers already widely support a range of speeds from 10M to 10G, and Realtek plans to launch a solution for the 100GBase-SR4 fiber module in 2026 Q1, which combines an advanced CMOS technology feature that provides low power consumption and low latency wired transmission technology that includes:
- RX (TIA, LA, CDR) chip
- TX (VCSEL Driver, MCU, CDR) chip
Realtek’s next-generation 100GbE and 10GbE solutions provide stable and efficient connectivity for enterprise, server, and AI environments. This will help accelerate digital transformation and improve operational efficiency across various industries.
Edge AI Smart Set-Top Box
Realtek will launch the new 4K HDR set-top box (STB) chipset with integrated NPU AI computing, fully supporting the latest Google TV, Android TV, and RDK platforms. This new chipset features upgraded AISR and AIPQ technologies, delivering stable and immersive entertainment experiences tailored for high-bandwidth OTT streaming. It also supports a customizable multi-view display to meet diverse viewing needs.
The 4K HDR set-top box with built-in NPU supports a wide range of AI-based video and audio processing models, enabling MSOs and retail brands to elevate service coverage and user experience. To support global operators, Realtek continues to offer pre-integrated and pre-certified STB platform solutions, significantly reducing time-to-market and enabling flexible, future-ready smart home deployments.
"These breakthrough technologies pave the way for a more convenient lifestyle in the future," said Yee-Wei Huang, Realtek's vice president and spokesman. "Realtek's latest innovative technologies seamlessly integrate AI, high-speed networks, BT, and Wi-Fi, creating a world that is smarter, more efficient, and more interconnected.”
