Qualcomm is possibly best referred to as the business behind the Snapdragon chips in lots of Android phones and tablets. The business exposed today that it’s developing hardware for usage in Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers, appealing speeds of “over 20 Gbps.”

Qualcomm today revealed a brand-new lineup of hardware for usage in future mesh routers, called the “Immersive Home Wi-Fi 7 Platform.” As the name indicates, it’s developed around the emerging Wi-Fi 7 requirement, which guarantees much faster speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi 6E (which still isn’t typical) and Wi-Fi 6. For gadgets that support Wi-Fi 7, the platform will provide much better efficiency on the 5 GHz channel, and 140% more bandwidth on 6 GHz compared to Wi-Fi 6E.

Qualcomm is guaranteeing “tri-band Wi-Fi 7 setups varying from 10 to 20 Gbps peak cordless capability,” which would be wild speeds for house networks– quickly more than many domestic web service suppliers. As with the majority of router speed quotes, real-world efficiency will be impacted by walls, cordless disturbance, and other aspects.

Importantly, Qualcomm itself will not be offering routers with the brand-new hardware platform. Rather, it’s up to other business to develop routers and mesh systems based upon Qualcomm’s styles– the Immersive Home 316 Platform, 318 Platform, 326 Platform, and 3210 Platform. Qualcomm is presently tasting the hardware to “producers of house routers and fit together Wi-Fi systems,” however didn’t state which ones.
