From October 13 to 15, at the Network X 2026 expo, MeiG Smart officially announced a Wi-Fi 8 gateway solution based on the Qualcomm platform, in partnership with Qualcomm. The company also showcased its full matrix of high-compute AI modules, 4G/5G/5G-A communication modules, FWA solutions and personal AI assistant products, presenting a complete cloud-to-edge technology map driven by the dual engines of “AI + Connectivity”.
Built on the IEEE 802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8) standard, the gateway solution focuses on “ultra-high reliability” as its core goal, aiming to provide a predictable, highly reliable wireless foundation for real-time collaboration between on-device intelligence and edge/cloud large models. The solution supports tri-band MIMO across 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz with MLO multi-link aggregation, delivering combined peak rates of up to 14Gbps; the 6GHz band supports 320MHz ultra-wide channels for premium home and enterprise scenarios.
Beyond gateways, MeiG Smart launched a new personal AI assistant solution. Combining connectivity across global mainstream 5G bands with cloud large models and local computing, it enables real-time audio transcription, structured AI meeting notes, face-to-face live interpretation, multimodal scene perception and low-power always-on background operation. The company also announced its entry into optical communications, planning optical components, optical engines and optical modules based on InP laser chips to connect the full link from edge computing to data centers.
From an industry perspective, gateways are evolving from data pass-through devices into integrated “connectivity + compute + intelligence” nodes. The ultra-high reliability (UHR) defined by Wi-Fi 8 maps directly onto edge AI’s requirements for deterministic latency and zero packet loss, making next-generation wireless standards a key piece of edge intelligence infrastructure. For edge computing gateway vendors, the ability to co-design communication modules, AI compute and industrial-grade reliability will decide the next round of competition.
Junyi Microelectronics’ edge computing products – 5G-EDGE-3399Pro, IOT-CTL and AI-BOX-3588 – combine 5G communication with edge AI inference capabilities. We closely track the evolution of next-generation wireless standards such as Wi-Fi 8 and 5G-A to bring customers edge gateway and embedded system solutions with more advanced connectivity.
