Your enterprise applications are moving at the speed of AI—but is your network keeping up? Today, Broadcom is proud to announce the industry’s first end-to-end Wi-Fi 8 access point (AP) and switch solution specifically engineered to handle the massive demands of the AI-ready enterprise. We are introducing a unified architecture that brings together the brain of the access point and the power of the network switch to solve the biggest challenges facing modern businesses. By integrating the Trident X3+ Ethernet switch and our cutting-edge Wi-Fi 8 Access Points (APs) into a single design strategy, we’ve eliminated the performance chokepoints that often stall new technology rollouts. Why this unified architecture is a game-changer: -Massive Bandwidth: The Trident X3+ doubles front-panel bandwidth to support high-density Wi-Fi 8 deployments without breaking a sweat. – Industry-First Security: We are the first to implement MACsec security across the entire path—from the switch ports all the way to the access points—to safeguard your data against next-gen cyber threats. – Precision for Industrial AI: Our unified architecture enables Wireless Time-Sensitive Networking (wTSN), delivering the ultra-low latency and “guaranteed” communication timing required for real-time AI and industrial automation. – Integrated Edge AI: By pairing the Trident X3+ with our new BCM49438 APU, we’ve built AI acceleration directly into the network edge, allowing for smarter, self-optimizing networks without extra hardware costs. The transition to Wi-Fi 8 is about more than speed—it’s about building a robust, intelligent, reliable and secure foundation for the future. Whether you’re supporting a hybrid workforce or powering an AI factory, Broadcom is ensuring your network is a competitive advantage. The future of the enterprise is wireless-first. Are you ready?
