Insights
Synaptics' new Wi-Fi 7 IoT chips position the company strategically in a rapidly growing market forecast to reach 2B+ annual shipments by 2029.
Synaptics has strategically expanded its wireless portfolio with the introduction of its first Wi-Fi 7 SoC family specifically engineered for IoT applications. The SYN4390 and SYN4384 chips represent a significant technical achievement, delivering 5.8 Gbps peak speeds and supporting advanced features like 320 MHz channel bandwidth and multi-link operation (MLO).
What differentiates these products in the competitive IoT connectivity landscape is their triple-combo architecture, integrating Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and Zigbee/Thread protocols on a single chip. This approach addresses the fragmented IoT ecosystem while supporting the Matter standard for interoperability. The integration of RF front-end and power management components further reduces system complexity, power consumption, and cost – critical factors for space-constrained IoT devices.
The commercial timing is noteworthy, with SYN4390 available now for sale and SYN4384 available in quantities for evaluation. This positions Synaptics at the forefront of the Wi-Fi 7 IoT transition as the market begins its growth phase. According to ABI Research data cited in the announcement, Wi-Fi 7 chipset shipments are projected to grow at a
The product targets high-value applications including 8K streaming, interactive gaming, security monitoring, AR/VR, and automotive entertainment – segments that benefit from the low-latency and high-throughput capabilities these chips deliver. The design also enables integration with Synaptics' Astra AI-Native compute platform, potentially accelerating development of AI-enriched IoT products with advanced features like Wi-Fi Sensing.
The release of Synaptics' Veros Wi-Fi 7 family represents a calculated move to capture market share in the rapidly evolving IoT connectivity space. The timing is particularly strategic as we're witnessing the early deployment phase of Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure, creating demand for compatible endpoint devices across multiple categories.
What makes this product announcement particularly significant is Synaptics' approach to IoT-specific challenges. Unlike Wi-Fi 7 implementations for laptops or networking equipment, IoT devices face more stringent power, size, and cost constraints. The integration of three wireless protocols (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and Zigbee/Thread) with RF front-end components addresses these challenges while enabling these chips to serve as versatile connectivity hubs in heterogeneous wireless environments.
The support for Matter is another critical element, as this interoperability standard is becoming increasingly essential for smart home adoption. By embedding Matter compatibility, Synaptics is future-proofing these products against the fragmentation that has historically plagued IoT markets.
From an application perspective, the focus on emerging high-bandwidth, low-latency use cases aligns with where the IoT market is heading – particularly in immersive experiences (AR/VR), real-time applications (gaming), and high-definition monitoring (security cameras). The ability to offload networking functions from the host processor further enhances the product's appeal for battery-operated devices.
With forecasts pointing to Wi-Fi 7 chipset shipments exceeding 2 billion annually by 2029, Synaptics is positioning itself to capitalize on this growth wave by entering the market with commercially ready products that address unique IoT requirements rather than simply adapting general-purpose Wi-Fi 7 solutions.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee/Thread combo SoCs support high peak speed and low latency for gaming, AR/VR, entertainment, security, and automotive applications.
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synaptics® Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) announced it has extended its Veros wireless portfolio with its first family of Wi-Fi® 7 systems-on-chips (SoCs) tailored for the Internet of Things (IoT). Comprising the SYN4390 and SYN4384, the scalable offering supports bandwidths up to 320 MHz to deliver 5.8 Gbps peak speed and low latency. The triple-combo SoCs integrate Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth® 6.0 and Zigbee/Thread, support Matter, and are designed to minimize system cost and power consumption. They target IoT applications requiring reliable performance-over-range for enhanced user experiences across use cases that include 8K video streaming, interactive gaming, security monitoring, immersive AR/VR, and home and automotive entertainment.
Wi-Fi 7’s multi-link operation (MLO) allows the devices to send and receive a data stream using multiple frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz) simultaneously in support of low latency, reliable connections, and high throughput for real-time applications like video calls and gaming. Synaptics’ architecture provides a power-efficient, cost-effective way to deliver the benefits of MLO.
“Growing adoption of Wi-Fi 7 in wireless networking infrastructure has created an opportunity to address a massive and diverse array of Wi-Fi 7-enabled IoT end-user devices by extending our Veros portfolio,” said Venkat Kodavati, SVP and GM of Wireless Products at Synaptics. “We are bringing the benefits of Wi-Fi 7 in a versatile solution for high-performance, low-power IoT devices. Combined with the ease of integration with our Astra AI-Native compute platform, we expect that developers will have an efficient solution for implementing next-generation connected and AI-enriched IoT products with features such as Wi-Fi Sensing.”
ABI Research forecasts annual shipments of Wi-Fi 7 chipsets to reach more than 2 billion by 2029, achieving a CAGR of
“Wi-Fi 7 is ushering in a new era of more enriching and sophisticated use cases for connected devices thanks to its channel bandwidth, throughput, and latency improvements,” said Andrew Zignani, Senior Research Director, ABI Research. “However, the requirements for implementation vary by product type, and edge IoT introduces challenges that differ from PCs or infrastructure applications. Synaptics’ diverse Wi-Fi 7 solutions are tailored to address these unique needs, including low power, support for multiple connectivity protocols, and AI. These will be critical in enabling Wi-Fi 7’s expansion across multiple IoT segments, reaching billions of annual device shipments over the next few years.”
Wi-Fi 7 family highlights
The Wi-Fi 7 IoT family’s support of Matter and its triple combo design provides the interoperability required to allow the devices to serve as versatile home hubs that can operate across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee/Thread networks in heterogeneous wireless environments. Features support2:
