I'm a product marketing staff member at Ofeixin. Our company develops wireless module solutions, working upstream with chip manufacturers like Qualcomm, Realtek, WUQI, and HiSilicon, and downstream serving end customers in fields such as smart homes, industrial IoT, and automotive electronics. Simply put, our role is to transform chips into mass-producible module products and then deliver them to customers for use in complete systems . we enter the second half of 2026, my own work experience, as well as that of my colleagues, can be summed up in two words: unpleasant . Customers are pushing – projects can't stop, delivery dates can't be delayed, and costs can't rise. But the reality is, component prices are constantly increasing: crystal oscillators are up 10%-30%, PCBs 20%-30%, inductors 30%-70%, and upstream chip manufacturers are also adjusting prices, with A...

For the past decade, most IoT devices have followed a "collect, upload, wait" model—data is transmitted from edge sensors to the cloud for processing. This model is feasible for simple monitoring, but it faces bottlenecks in terms of realtime performance, bandwidth consumption, and privacy protection. Today, WiFi 7 is redefining wireless connectivity with ultralow latency and ultrahigh throughput, while edge AI is bringing computing power down to the device level. The convergence of these two technologies is ushering in a new era of intelligent IoT.   I. The market votes with real money. The Wi Fi 7 market is expanding rapidly. According to Research and Markets data, the global WiFi 7 market size will grow from $2.76 billion in 2025 to $4.56 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of 65.4%, and is expected to reach $33.96 billion in 2030. ABI Rese...

Introduction: An Ongoing Shift in Industrial Focus The global wireless communication module industry is undergoing profound structural changes. The Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) has surpassed consumer electronics to become the fastest-growing and largest core application market for wireless modules . This shift is not accidental—it is the result of the combined effects of four forces: market expansion, technological maturity, policy support, and industry demand. According to the "Global Wireless Module Industry In-Depth Analysis Report (2026)" released by IIM Information, the global wireless module industry market size is expected to reach approximately US$18.73 billion in 2026 , a 14.2% increase compared to 2025, with shipments exceeding 1.25 billion units . On the application demand side, Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and smart manuf...

I. Trend Background: Why is "combination" becoming the new normal? IoT devices are becoming increasingly "all-rounders." A smart home control unit needs to connect to the cloud via Wi-Fi and also enable near-field network pairing with mobile phones via Bluetooth; an industrial gateway needs to connect to the local area network via Wi-Fi and also needs Bluetooth for on-site device debugging. This demand for "both...and..." is driving IoT communication modules from "single-protocol dedicated" to "multi-protocol convergence". A multi-protocol module (combo module) refers to a single wireless SoC that supports multiple protocol stacks, providing multiple wireless communication capabilities simultaneously on the same module. The most common combination is Wi-Fi + Bluetooth , with other combinations such as ZigBee + BLE and Wi-Fi + ZigBee . A single-protocol mo...

Signal attenuation, data loss, and frequent device offline issues in WiFi modules under strong electromagnetic interference are no longer isolated incidents. With the number of connected industrial IoT devices exceeding 10 billion, this problem is evolving from an "occasional inconvenience" to a "systemic risk." According to IDC statistics, the number of connected IoT devices worldwide will exceed 75 billion by 2025. This massive influx of access leads to channel congestion and increased interference, with throughput in some scenarios reaching only 40% to 60% of the rated capacity. As the number of connections surges, each unstable connection could become the trigger for a system-wide disaster. What exactly is going on? And how can this situation be resolved?   I. Where does the interference come from? — The physical root cause of WiFi "disconnection" WiF...

I. The Tide of the Times: Why the Inevitable Emergence of Body-Possessing Robots Artificial intelligence is undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift. From large language models to multimodal models, the "brain" of AI has acquired the ability to understand, reason, and generate, but a key question remains unresolved: how can AI truly "touch" the physical world? Embodied AI is the answer to this problem. It combines large-scale AI models with physical entities, achieving a leap from "computational intelligence" to "physical intelligence ." If we compare the large model to the "brain" of a robot, then the communication network is its "nervous system"—this "brain" must process massive amounts of heterogeneous data from dozens of sensors distributed throughout the body in milliseconds and issue synchronous instructions to actuators in microseconds . embodied robots...
