(NASDAQ: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops, and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today announced its collaboration with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. on a new, broadband-optimized reference platform for the global fixed wireless access (FWA) market, integrating Broadcom's BCM6776 Wi-Fi 8 System-on-Chip (SoC) with Samsung's B1320 5G Modem. This industry-first platform unifies 3GPP Release 17 connectivity with the emerging Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) standard. As global broadband demand shifts toward higher performance standards, Broadcom’s latest SoC and Samsung's modem focus on delivering high reliability and consistent throughput. Designed for mass-market scalability, the platform provides a high-performance, cost-competitive blueprint that allows mobile operators to offer fiber-level broadband to accelerate service innovation and ecosystem growth. Technical Leadership: 5G Meets Wi-Fi 8 The ​​Broadcom BCM6776 is a highly-optimized tri-band Wi-Fi 8 SoC targeting high-volume retail and mass-market access points. It includes a quad-core Arm network processor and supports 2-stream 40 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band and 4-stream 160 MHz channels in the 5 and 6 GHz bands, delivering a complete Wi-Fi 8 platform in a single chip. By unifying the CPU and Wi-Fi 8 radio, Broadcom enables OEMs to significantly reduce bill of materials (BOM) costs, simplify board design, and achieve a 50% reduction in active power consumption compared to previous generations.   The Samsung B1320 is a highly-integrated and power-efficient 5nm chipset solution that supports 3GPP Release 17. It is capable of achieving 5G downlink speeds of 3.43 Gbps and uplink speeds of 1.17 Gbps. Combining Samsung’s 5G modem with a quad-core Arm CPU and the BCM6776’s network processor, the platform can support full Wi-Fi to 5G throughput. The platform also includes a Power Class 1.5 RF transceiver, power management, and a GNSS receiver. It also supports NR-NTN and NB-NTN for satellite communications. "At Computex 2026, we are highlighting that the future of home internet can be both accessible and affordable," said Joonsuk Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of CP Development at Samsung Electronics. “This platform is designed to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of environments, helping operators bring high-quality connectivity experiences to subscribers." "Broadcom is proud to lead the Wi-Fi 8 transition alongside Samsung and our valued ODM partners," said Vijay Nagarajan, Vice President of Marketing, Wireless and Broadband Communications Division at Broadcom. "This partnership is a game-changer for the FWA market. The combination of Wi-Fi 8 and 5G prioritizes coordinated reliability, giving operators a tool that delivers a consistent experience to every corner of the home."
