From June 9th to 12th, 2026, the 23rd Guangzhou International Building Electrical Technology Exhibition (GEBT) was held in Guangzhou. At the exhibition, KingPAC showcased for the first time its comprehensive solution for the Internet of Things (IoT) across all scenarios, based on its independently controllable PLC-IoT technology. Its core concept directly addresses industry pain points: no new wiring or complex debugging is required; simply plug it in to have a stable, secure, and intelligent IoT system . This demonstration sends a clear signal to the industry: PLC-IoT is evolving from an "alternative communication solution" into an "invisible infrastructure" for large-scale commercial deployment of smart homes .   I. Underlying Communication Logic: Wires vs. Air Interface To understand why PLC-IoT has become a focal point, we first n...

Introduction : When MediaTek won the Best Choice Gold Award at COMPUTEX 2026 for its Filogic 8800 Wi-Fi 8 chip, and when ASUS announced at CES 2026 that it would launch its first batch of Wi-Fi 8 routers and MESH systems this year, the outline of the next-generation wireless communication standard is becoming increasingly clear. However, there is a significant "maturity gap" between the exciting technology roadshows and the reality of market implementation. For the vast majority of enterprises and users, Wi-Fi 7 is currently the only pragmatic choice with complete ecosystem support. I. Wi-Fi 8: The Ideal is Beautiful, but the Reality is Harsh 1.1 Technological Shift: From "Faster" to "More Stable" Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) has made significant adjustments to its design philosophy. Its key emphasis is no longer on speed, but on "ultra...

Just as we were celebrating the world's first Bluetooth 6.2 module certification, another bombshell dropped: the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has made its biggest overhaul of the BQB certification rules in nearly a decade. Bluetooth 5.4 is now mandatory, LE Audio testing is required, and RN numbers now have expiration dates . What should I do about my module selection? The days of simply "getting a module certification and relabeling it to ship" are basically over. 一、What exactly are the three changes in the new regulations?   The first step: a forced upgrade of the technical benchmark. After January 1, 2026, all new BQB certification applications must comply with the Bluetooth 5.4 core specification . The SIG no longer accepts new certification applications for Bluetooth 5.3 and older versions. If the core hardware has been modified, t...

Introduction: A New Paradigm for Wireless Networks As wireless communication technologies approach physical limits, the performance gains from increasing modulation order, channel bandwidth, or coding efficiency on a single link are slowing down. Meanwhile, demands for higher throughput, lower latency, and better reliability continue to surge, especially in emerging applications such as virtual reality, industrial IoT, cloud gaming, and telemedicine. WiFi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) emerges as a technological breakthrough in this context. Its core innovation – MultiLink Operation (MLO) – no longer pursues extreme performance on a single link but instead leverages multiple links working together to achieve systemlevel optimization. This fundamental paradigm shift gives WiFi the ability to combat random environmental interference for the first time. Am...

"Connectivity is being given a new mission to better carry intelligence, support industry, and serve society, becoming a 'digital lifeline' for promoting high-quality social and economic operation."   This quote comes from Meng Pu, Chairman of Qualcomm China, in his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day Conference held in Wuhan on May 17, 2026. At this industry event themed "Digital Lifeline: Strengthening Resilience in a Connected World," Qualcomm outlined a new 6G blueprint from 5G/5G-A to "AI Connecting Everything," clarifying that 6G will be built around three technological cornerstones: "connectivity," "computing," and "sensing . "   As a company deeply involved in the full range of communication modules including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, embedded IoT, and PLC , how do we view the...

Wi-Fi HaLow Spectrum Fragmentation: The Hidden Barrier to Global IoT Deployment — and How the Industry Is Solving It Will your IoT module pass regulatory inspection when it reaches the next target market? For many wireless module manufacturers and solution providers, the most stressful moment in product launch isn‘t design validation — it’s facing spectrum regulators in different countries with entirely different rules.   Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) has been widely recognized as the technology poised to bridge the IoT connectivity gap, with Omdia projecting a 79% compound annual growth rate for the ecosystem through 2029. ABI Research forecasts that over 100 million Wi-Fi HaLow devices will be in use by 2029, with annual device shipments growing from approximately 19 million in 2025 to 124 million by 2030 — a 45%...
