## Summary

Synaptics says a dedicated scan architecture separates network discovery from application traffic, letting a low-power radio monitor neighboring access points while the primary Wi-Fi radio stays connected. The source cites roaming latency under 80 ms and packet loss under 2% as typical robotics targets. Its Scan Core implementation is presented as one example of this approach.
