HD video streaming and video conferencing are currently thought to be the strongest applications in this sector, as Wi-Fi 6 is used in video streaming to deliver video content to users over the internet. Wireless technology allows devices to communicate with each other without the need for a physical connection. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that uses radio waves to transmit data. Wi-Fi 6 is essential for video streaming because it enables users to watch video content on any device with an internet connection. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs.

A Wi-Fi System-on-Chip is a single chip that integrates all the necessary components for a Wi-Fi device and this is the fastest growing segment in terms of hardware. This includes the Wi-Fi radio, processor, memory, and other components. Wi-Fi SoCs enable a more compact and efficient design and improved performance and power efficiency. They are used in a variety of devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart home devices.
