MediaTek was also at CES 2026, where it introduced one of the first WiFi 8 chipsets, the Filogic 8000.
The MediaTek Filogic 8000, as with other WiFi 8 tech coming soon, focuses on other features than boasting peak speeds. WiFi 7 already achieved incredible speeds, so we should be fine.
It is said that WiFi 8 IEEE 802.11 bn will focus more on Ultra High Reliability.
The Filogic 8000 is a line of chips for different applications, and MediaTek promises that they are created to provide a foundational platform from gateways and enterprises to client devices like smartphones, laptops, and more.
One of its key highlights is multi-AP coordination with features like Coordinated Beamforming (Co-BF), Coordinated Spatial Reuse (Co-SR), and Multi-AP Scheduling (MAP).
It also has spectrum efficiency and coexistence, where Dynamic Subband Operation (DSO), Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA), and In-Device Coexistence (IDC) allow devices to share crowded spectrum more effectively.
WiFi 8 also brings the new Enhanced Long Range (ELR) and Distributed-Tone Resource Unit (dRU), which can drastically improve AI performance and roaming.
Lastly, MediaTek’s WiFi 8 chip will offer latency and reliability optimization thanks to features like Aggregated PPDU (APPDU) and smarter data rate adaptation.
The MediaTek Filogic 8000 series is expected to hit consumers later this year.
