Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. has unveiled its upcoming high-performance home networking offering, which will utilize Wi-Fi 7. The Qualcomm® Wi-Fi Immersive Home Platform will support high-speed broadband connections across a wide range of high-performance devices designed for hyper-connected homes. Introducing Qualcomm Multi-Link Mesh, a major advancement in home networking connectivity that leverages the performance and real-time responsiveness of Wi-Fi mesh.
The Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform is designed to enable collaboration , telepresence, AR/VR, and immersive gaming applications in the home. By offering multi-Gigabit coverage and low latency for modern applications, it delivers immediate performance benefits for both legacy devices and the latest Wi-Fi 7-enabled devices.
Qualcomm prepares for Wi-Fi 7
The new Qualcomm Immersive Home Platforms share a common architecture with the Qualcomm Networking Pro Series Wi-Fi 7 platform. They are ready for production and are currently being tested. Commercial availability is expected in the second half of 2023.
Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Platform Features
- Qualcomm Multi-Link Mesh: Provides a new model of dynamically managed customer-facing and mesh-back wireless links. Includes a process for selecting, aggregating, or toggling links in the unlicensed 2,4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz spectrum bands based on network conditions, device capabilities, and home network topology. This enables deterministic low latency for lag-free gaming experiences, and a 75% reduction in real-time latency in congested environments.
- Wi-Fi 7 technology: Qualcomm Immersive Home platforms can achieve extremely high performance with multi-Gigabit coverage over a wider area.
- Innovation in high-performance platforms: High-performance home networking is offered in low-profile, cost-effective form factors based on a scalable, modular design architecture. With this, the time to market is accelerated since it allows satisfying both small and large customers through an optimized platform designed by the user himself.
