突发！TP-LINK 芯片事业部全员解散，赔偿最高 N+3

Core Viewpoint - The recent disbandment of the chip division at TP-LINK (普联技术) indicates a strategic shift within the company, particularly following a rapid layoff in its WiFi chip department just months prior. This move reflects the company's focus on core technologies amidst increasing competition in the WiFi market. Summary by Sections - The chip division of TP-LINK has been completely disbanded, following a previous layoff in June at its overseas subsidiary, Lianzhou International, which also faced significant job cuts in its WiFi chip department [1][5][6]. - The layoffs at Lianzhou International were rapid, with the process from notification to completion taking only half a day. The compensation scheme for affected employees follows an N+3 standard for those with over a year of service, N+2 for six months to a year, and N+1 for less than six months [2][5]. - The layoffs primarily affected key positions in the WiFi front-end module (FEM) development, which is crucial for connecting WiFi chips to antennas. Despite the layoffs, TP-LINK is not exiting the WiFi chip market entirely but is reallocating resources to focus on core chip technology development [5][6]. - The company has struggled to commercialize its self-developed chip technology since forming its chip team in 2021, continuing to rely on external suppliers like MediaTek and Qualcomm for solutions [5].
