Qualcomm has announced the arrival of the Wi-Fi 7 Networking Pro Series, a line of Wi-Fi chips for enterprise access points, premium home routers and advanced mesh systems. They offer quad-band connectivity up to 33Gbps over 16 streams, more stable connection and minimal interference.
The four platforms that are part of this series support much wider 320 MHz channels across 2.4 GHz, 5 Hz and 6 GHz spectra.
It appears that Wi-Fi 6 / 6E arrived just yesterday, and although it was adopted in 2019 and 2020, companies are already aiming for the next-generation standard, dubbed 802.11b by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). .
In short, it will bring Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for using multiple radio links on different channel frequencies. There is also Adaptive Interface Puncturing (AIP) which rejects spectrum slots that are too congested.
All of these technologies, introduced by Qualcomm, will enable even faster and more stable internet speeds in places like stadiums. Nick Kucharewski, VP and General Manager of Wireless Infrastructure and Networking at the San Diego company, said Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6 will be able to coexist for a long time as markets “mature and evolve” .
It’s worth mentioning that while Qualcomm is pioneering the next Wi-Fi standard, expectations are that it won’t be certified until 2024, so we’ll have to wait a little longer for mass adoption to become a thing.
