Cypress CES News Express (Part 2): Cypress Brings Superior Infotainment Experience to Connected Cars

Cypress, a leader in advanced embedded system solutions, today announced a combo solution for in-vehicle wireless connectivity that provides a robust 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connection for vehicles, enabling multiple users to connect to their devices simultaneously and stream content independently on their devices.

The Cypress CYW89359 Combo solution is the industry's first product to use Real Simultaneous Dual Band (RSDB) technology. It integrates two complete Wi-Fi subsystems into a single chip, enabling two independent data streams to run at full throughput simultaneously. The advanced 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth coexistence engine provides optimal performance for both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth/Low Power Bluetooth (BLE).

“ Today, people expect to enjoy the same connectivity, rich multimedia content and user experience in their cars as they do at home. This dream has become a reality - Cypress’s new CYW89359 Combo solution enables all passengers in the same car to connect their devices simultaneously and independently play their own high-fidelity video and audio content. This solution is not only the highest performance Wi-Fi device in our IoT portfolio, but also meets the stringent reliability and security requirements of our automotive customers for in-vehicle applications .”
